Need some advice on my next headphones, I'm not all that knowledgeable when it comes to good headphones so forgive the newbness.
I have a pair of UR-40's that I have been using for the past few years that are starting to fall apart. I always liked them but didn't learn that they are actually quite good for how cheap they are until recently. My finding them was entirely an accident, we were getting rid of them at work and I got them cheap. Now that they are falling apart I feel like it might be a good time to upgrade, but I'm not sure what I can get for ~$100 or under that would really be a good upgrade? I tired a pair of the Philips "Stretch" headphones because I liked the build quality but they don't sound as good as the UR-40's to me, should they?
I do listen to music on them, but my main use for them is watching movies and playing games at night. Sound leaking is irrelevant as I only use them at home, I have some etymotics for travel, but as I watch lots of movies on them long use comfort is crucial.
Thanks!
