Hello forums!
It's been a while, hasn't it? Anyway, I'm back again with one of these threads, because a hollow mind comme la mienne can't work nor decide for himself, so I'm relying on you people to help me.
I want to purchase some headphones...
My old $40 Sony ones have surely seen better days, the material along the chassis is wearing away, my ears are becoming increasingly disappointed wearing them.
Here's a template from Reddit, where I specify what I want:
Budget - less than $200 CAD, maybe a few bucks more if it's really worth it
Source - OnePlus One Android Smartphone, Asus S56C Ultrabook
Isolation - I'd like some isolation, since I'll be listening with them on public transportation, in the car, etc.
Preferred Type of Headphone - Over-Ear (which I guess would be full-sized).
Preferred Tonal Balance - I'd preferably like something balanced, maybe with a bit of extra bass.
Past Headphones - I've owned a pair similar to, or exactly the Sony MDRXB250. They have a bit too much base for my preference and they're extremely uncomfortable after an hour or two. I also own a pair of HyperX Cloud Gaming headphones and they sound a lot better than the aforementioned Sony ones.
Preferred Music -
What would you like to improve on from your setup - More comfort, more clarity and detail, a little less base, a carrying case (optional but would be useful), something that will last me a while.
Location - Canada
I've done a meager amount of research on my own, and I basically compiled a list of four pairs that seem to coincide with my demands:
1) Audio Technica ATH-M50x
2) V-MODA Crossfade LP2
3) Sennheiser HD 380 Pro
4) Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO (I have a lower offer)
All four of them have pretty good ratings overall, although the reviews for the V-MODA and Beyerdynamic pair were polarizing at times. I've heard many good things about the Audio Technica ATH-M50x's, and I was wondering if they're unanimously the best pair in this price bracket or if there's a pair that could suit my demands better.
Please only respond if you know what you're talking about, or if you've had any experience with them. Also, FEEL FREE to recommend a pair not on this list. I haven't delved too deeply into the world of headphones.
Thank you guys.
