hey everyone! i'm new to this site and i've been lurking through the forums and such, but with so many choices and opinions i'm still somewhat clueless as to what to actually get (curse my indecisiveness!).
my price range is $100-200, though i could spend a teensy weensy bit more that $200 if need be.
what i'm looking for is a pair of closed circumaural headphones. leakage isn't a big concern, but i'd prefer them to not leak very much. portability is a pretty big issue, but i'll mainly have a backpack with me, so as long as i can stuff them in there, i'll be just fine. the main brands i'm considering are audio-technica, sennheiser, and sony, though all suggestions are welcome.
sources for these headphones will mainly be (for the time being, anyway) an ipod (60gb 4g) and a powerbook g4 (so i guess i need cans that don't need an amp). hopefully i'll be getting some kind of USB soundcard/amplifier combo to run from my powerbook afterwards (much later, though).
as for the types of music i like, i listen mainly to rock/electronic music. bands/artists include my bloody valentine, sonic youth, serena maneesh, bloc party, sigur ros, telefon tel aviv, massive attack, smashing pumpkins, tool, and a couple others.
praise ye, almighty head-fiers, and thanks in advance.
