I just got a cool new smart phone, and I'm looking to get some half way descent headphones that will be used for both portable and home use.
I listen at fairly low volumes to protect my hearing, so I think I'd need something with descent if not slightly enhanced mid bass and sub bass and as accurate mids and highs as I can get. I would get install an equalizer from the android market so keep that in mind.
I'm hoping to get something that sounds very good unequalized, and even better equalized for a flat response from upper bass to 20+Khz, and slightly enhanced sub bass and mid bass.
$200 is the most I can spend right now. I would probably get a portable headphone amp later, but I need headphones that sound ok even without an amp.
I was looking at the Audio Technica ATH-M50 coiled cable version, Denon AH-D1100, The Klipsch Image One, Sony XB-500, Sennheiser HD 380 Pro, and Sennheiser HD 25-II(might not have enough bass for me though). Even though they are completely different, I was also considering the Sennheiser PMX-100 and Sennheiser HD-238 for the unusual mid bass and sub bass capability at their price and size. I basically want the best sounding headphones out there under the $200 price point that have a little more bass and portability than something like say a Sennheiser HD598 would give me.
