Hello, head-fi! I've been a lurker here for years and never signed up, but have received some good advice from others' questions in the past.
I'm looking for some closed cans for listening at work. I'd like something around $25, but might be willing to go as high as $50 if it's really worth it. I need something that doesn't sound horrid and doesn't leak a lot, as it's a quiet work space. That's pretty much the only requirements.
At home, I use primarily DT880 pro 250ohm for mixing/mastering (along with monitors, of course) and some listening, DT770 pro 80ohm for pretty much everything else, and some old ATH-M40fs cans that get occasional use. I'm obviously not looking for anything of the caliber of the 770 or 880, but my current setup at work are some $4 Panny earbuds from Amazon. My initial thought would be to take the M40's to work, but I really just don't like them that much for music.
I know $25-50 is low, but I'm sure there are some cans that are passable in that price range. Any recommendations?
