I have a pair of Sony MDR-7506 closed headphones and would like to get back into listening to some new music in the evening. First, I want a decent upgrade from what I have, preferably closed design so I don't bother my wife. My budget is $100-300 or so, but is flexible. I was looking at the ATH-M50S, but would like more opinions.
Second, I'll most likely listen in my bedroom where I do not have a receiver. I may listen with an iPhone/iPad. Should I also be getting an amp? I find listening in the dark when I can focus only on the music really helps me enjoy it. I will not be falling asleep with these, so I'm not worried about that. I will most likely listen sitting up. If I need an amp, which one?
I've done quite a bit of searching, but most are focused on ~$100 headphones. I want something a little better. Thanks!
