Hi everyone.
I am looking to purchase a pair of headphones that will be great for my genre of choice - rock. I've looked through a couple of threads here and it seems like the choice varies widely based upon what I wish to be accentuated in my music. Moreso than anything, I would like to hear lively guitars and vocals.
The type of bands I listen to are: Radiohead, Muse, The Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Some additional information that might be helpful: I'm a college student, so I can't have my headphones pumping out music to the outside (especially if I'm in my dorm, or in the library). That's really quite a shame because for a while, I was leaning heavily towards Grados. So I guess I'm looking for closed headphones. Furthermore, I wish to play music straight from my laptop or from my iPod, without an amp. Finally, I wish for them to be comfortable (1-2 hours at a time, max.) and somewhat visually pleasing.
Thank you all very much.
Edit: Forgot to put my budget! I'm looking to spend < $300
Edit 2: Anyone have any words on the ATH-M50S?
