Hello, this is actually my first post. Great website, have been using it to figure stuff about headphones and have read the forums but never posted or created an account until now.
Anyhow, I am looking to buy headphones or earphones under $150 USD. I am not a studio person, but I like to listen to music, watch movies and would like a good quality headphone. I am hoping I can also gym in them? I do go for runs every night and that would be a good option to have. But the most important part is quality of sound and sound isolation (doesn't have to be cancelling, but isolate a bit of noise at least. Anything like shure SE215 sound isolation would be excellent), just enough to get me into my studying. I do not like bose QC as it is too silent and doesn't sound that great.
Headphones that I have came across:
The M40x and the M50x ( am debating whether the extra $50 is worth it)
Sennheiser IE80 (not headphones but rather earphones, found a buddy selling them for $200 to me)
Shure SRH440 and the SRH840
I'd like to see which one sounds the best from all the three, and i know one of them is not even a headphone LOL. I'm also open to recommendations
Music I listen mostly to: Hip/hop, House music, etc. Bass is important and would love it, and that has been pushing me towards the M50X, but not quite sure still since a bit more expensive. But are larger making them harder to use at the gym.
For recommendations the headphones have to be detachable, I will break the wires within 2 months promised
Thank you in advance
