Hi Community, I'm looking to get a better pair of headphones around $300 but if the quality is truly significantly better i may be able to push it to ~$500. I would prefer to listen on speakers for producing but my living arrangements do not allow for speakers. I currently own the V-Moda LP and i love them (I listen to mainly house and edm so the fact that the bass takes the spotlight is not a problem but an advantage) however they are not balanced in any respect so they would make terrible headphones for producing. I was curious as to what some of the professionals were using so i went to equipboard and found these 2 models which look promising, the Pioneer HDJ-2000 Reference Professional Dj Headphones and the Sennheiser HD25-1 II Closed-Back Headphones. Both are about $230-$250 and both have lots of good reviews on amazon but I came here to see if the head-fi community had any negative opinions about them and or if they had other and or better suggestions. If anyone has any way of getting the Sennheiser HD800 for under $800 please let me know but otherwise I'm afraid that they are nowhere near affordable. I have heard mixed reviews (although generally positive) about the Sennheiser HD650 but nothing particularly good about the bass. Also please include how I should burn in the headphones if necessary. I'm also interested in purchasing an amp if necessary, and I have not the slightest clue on what to get if I do in fact need one. And lastly whenever I buy headphones I get a warning about listening to certain db for too long how do I know what do my headphones are playing at.
Thank you for your time and your efforts,
Matt
