Headphoneus Supremus
I've been spending awhile, on and off for maybe 6 or so months, debating on spending some money to get some serious headphones. I currently own and listen to Grado SR80 for alt and rock (my main headphone), XB500 for some EDM and other bass-focused music, Fostex T50RP for Les Mis and similar sounding recordings, and don't stab me for this one, but Skullcandy Aviator (a gift) for when I am listening to music but expect to get interrupted on the phone regularly.
My main source is an iphone 3gs that I have a go-dap amp for, using primarily ALAC with some random exceptions.
I'd prefer to keep the cost under $300, but will toss in another 100 + tax & shipping if I feel its worth it.
I don't particularly care about if its open/closed given they both have advantages and I have no need to avoid bothering others with the phones.
Any suggestions that can be useful in a fairly all-around sense would be wonderful, but I am mainly just looking for a strong performer for alt & rock, altho some decent bass for EDM would be nice.
And of course, any suggestions that are a bit under 300 but still a noticable improvement are always welcome!
