Hey guys, first time poster here and newbie when it comes to audio equipment. I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones for under 180$ ideally and I've kinda narrowed it down to three choices.
AKG Tiesto K167
Shure SRH840
ATH M50
I listen to a lot of music, but mainly;
Electronic music ( drum n bass, liquid drum n bass and house) - e.g :- Netsky, Nervo and hook, Tim berg, some deamau5.
Indie rock - e.g :- Good old war, arctic monkeys, bombay bicycle club etc.
Classical guitar music - e.g :- Mason williams, igor from youtube ( mainly a lot of classical and steel string guitar music)
I want a pair of headphones that not only sound good but also look nice so I can wear them around without being too embarrassed about how they look. I don't want a pair of flashy or brand name headphones but just a pair that doesn't look too horrible, which is part of why I've not considered DT770s at all. I'd prefer a neutral sound signature with respectable bass and not so bright mids, although bass isn't much of a big deal for me. I've never actually listened through any of the headphones I've mentioned above yet and I picked them out after skimming through some threads on this site, so if one of them doesn't suit my style of music then please be sure to say so.
I apologize for the long post, but I wanted to keep everything organised. Thanks in advance
