So, I'm looking to buy some nice, up to $300 headphones. I've been looking around the forum for a day or two and there are too many to choose from.
I'm looking for closed-ear headphones w/ good isolation (low sound leakage). The more musical things I like to listen to are metal such as Nightwish, Metallica, Machinae Supremacy, Dream Theater. Bass is important to me. I also really love the sound of an electric guitar, especially with heavy distortion, so it would be ideal to have headphones that really bring it out. Bass is also important. As an example, I'd love the song "Machinaeguns" to play well on them.
I'd be willing to have more sound leakage if the sound quality is vastly better.
Picking through the forums, these seemed to stick out as good choices:
Senn HD-280
Sony MDR7506
beyerdynamic DT 880/990
Sony MDR-SA5000 DJ
SR325i
Is any one of these particularly suited to the music I was describing? The headphones I had been using (which recently broke due to a wire-meets-vacuum-cleaner incident) were only about $50, so likely any of these is likely a huge upgrade.
Thanks in advance!
