Hi all,
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to headphones...
In the past I only used the default iPod / BlackBerry earplugs that Apple / RIM provided, but my friend lent me his grados for a week earlier in the month, and now it's safe to say I'm converted...
Haha, now I'm looking to invest some money in my first pair of high-quality headphones.
Specifically, here's some more details about what I'm looking for...
Thanks everyone!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Ken

Specifically, here's some more details about what I'm looking for...
- The music genres I enjoy listening to are trance and house. Specifically, my favorite artists include Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Laidback Luke, Swedish House Mafia, Deadmau5, etc.
- I plan on using my headphones most often at work. I work in a very conservative office environment. I don't want my coworkers to be able to hear the music I'm playing.
- I live in New York City. I'd also like to use my headphones on the subway or walking, when there usually are a lot of loud noises in the background.
- My budget is anywhere from $300-$600. I know that's a pretty wide margin, but I'm viewing this as an investment, and am willing to pay extra for my first pair of headphones if, for example, a $500 pair of headphones truly, truly meets all my needs and outshines every other $300 alternative out there.
Thanks everyone!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
