TL;DR
switchable bluetooth/wired over/on ear headphones for metalcore and rock as a bonus. are grado sr80's good for loud rooms like a food court? are audio technica m50x's and m40x's worth it? they have a bluetooth module i can buy but can i get something better?
LONG VERSION
Im new here. im looking for recommendations on over/on ear headphones that sound good listening to metal, mostly metalcore, and early 2000's rock. Examples would be: OM&M, BFMV, Trivium, blessthefall, ADTR, DGD, Secrets, and Breaking Benjamin. i also listen to bands like Incubus, Staind, Cold, Sevendust, Kittie, and 10 Years, as well. recommendations should be for metalcore, if they sound good with early 2000's then thats a plus though.
ive done my research but most recommendations are for headphones above my price ($150 max). and cant be switchable bluetooth and wired like id prefer. Example would be the JBL E45BT which use an AUX or BT.
i really want some grado sr80's because people swear by them for rock/metal but theyre open back and im in college and study with friends in a place as loud as a food court. i heard the audio technica m50x's are good, but that the m40x's are better for my music because the mids arent scooped. im worried about build quality though. ive heard also heard they dont have the speed to keep up with fast paced bass-y music like death and thrash and consequently, they start to sound muddy. heard the same for Sennheisers too. Example: bullet for my valentine and trivium drum lines are pretty fast and would sound muddied.
any recommendations? sorry for an essay. thanks for reading and for any help.
