Hello everyone, I am new to the site but have very much appreciated they information everyone provides. I am looking to get a decent set of open headphones in the range of $150-350 ish. I listened to a wide range of music genres, and honestly don't have enough experience to say what qualities I prefer in headphones. Thus, I am looking for some general advice anyone has. I do appreciate some bass presence, but understand open phones will naturally not have any crazy strong low end performance. I have a portable amp but will primarily listen plugged into a decently substantial desktop rig with external sound card. I know the price range is fairly broad, and although I am not looking to spend a ton of money I also do not want to waste money getting headphones with only marginal improvements in sound quality.
In the limited experience I have with better than crap headphones, I have been underwhelmed by a few cheaper sennheiser models, though admitantly these were probably not adequately powered and not burned in. I currently have a set of ATH m50, which I like very much, and am looking to experience open phones as well.
Thanks in advance to everyone here. Having a bunch of random interests, I get on a bunch of different forums covering all sorts of topics, and the members here have impressed me with their knowledge, insight, and respect for other members.
