Sorry to make this as its own thread, but I've had absolutely no luck getting replies on other questions in the consolidated help thread.
Here are the headphones I'm looking at, next to which I put the lowest price I can get them for:
-Grado SR80i ($100)
-Grado SR125i ($150)
-Grado SR225i ($200)
-Audio-Technica ATH AD900 ($215)
-Audio-Technica ATH M50 ($160)
-Sennheiser HD 598 ($180)
-Sennheiser HD 595 ($180)
-Ultrasone PRO 550 ($140)
-Ultrasone HFI 780 ($149)
-Denon DN HP700 ($100)
I listen to a wide variety of music, essentially everything but country and classical (maybe even a little classical). I already have a decent pair of Monster Turbines IEMS and a decent-ish pair of Sennheiser PMX 90 on-ear neck-band style headphones. I'm now looking for a pair of bigger on ears for use at home (and occasionally outside, if they're not too outlandishly large). Among the pairs above, what would my best choice (and value, since the price range is somewhat varied)? Or, is there a pair that I don't have listed that would work better for me? If you have a different suggestion, try to keep it under $230 as that's really my absolute highest price.
I have trouble choosing, and this is making me nuts. I can maybe audition a pair of the Grados if they seem like my best choice, the others I can just buy and return if I hate them.
Please help/offer other suggestions (and reasons, if possible). Thanks so much!
