Hey guys,
So I recently had an inspiration to buy a nice pair of over-ear headphones, because I've never owned anything more than apple earbuds and some 25$ headphones that have started to wear... I've been researching for about an hour or two, and it's all just become a jumbled mess of information inside my brain that I can't sort out so I figured I'd hop on here and ask for some help.
I have a price range of 100-200$... I realize that might be a bit picky, but hey, I'm not that serious about this to where I'd wanna spend near 200$ on headphones, sorry if that offends some of you.
So, my music taste is really diverse. I listen to a lot of everything, but gravitate towards pop and acoustic. I do, however, listen to rap and hip hop, quite a bit, and I love to hear some bass, but i fear, as all I've ever been exposed to is apple earbuds and some cheap headphones, i have yet to witness true bass, or bass 'extension' (whatever that is lol), and I don't really know what real bass is.I don't wanna be that stereotypical newbie that says "I want headphones that are great sound quality but also have BOOMING bass."
Essentially, I need some good quality headphones... and in an effort to stay away from preference over a certain type of sound quality (treble,bass,mids), I'm just an average guy that wants to get pumped when he puts on his headphones to listen to music.
Also, I only really listen to music out of my iPod Touch, my iPhone 5s, and my Macbook pro... if that means anything
As I said, I've been researching and I've come across these:
grado sr80e (open, which I hear focuses on the highs)
sony MRD7506
AKG K240 (open headphones)
Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO
Logitech UE6000 (these seem the most suited, from my research, to my tastes, and are relatively cheap)
Audiotech ATH M50s (this was my first choice but the more research I do, the more reviews I find saying they're overrated)
Any feedback would be appreciated, and like I said, I know next to nothing and I'd like to learn more so if you explained your suggestions that would awesome. Thanks a lot.
