Answer» Hello bros! I am in the midst of buying a pair of quality headphones and would like some input from you Here is some information that might help you understand what I'm looking for
What music do I listen to? Quite a lot of different genres. It differs between electronic music (dubstep, house..), hiphop, rap and others. But to narrow it down I'd say electronic and hiphop.
What do I find important when it comes to sound? Well, I really want quality audio. I'm not looking for headphones that focus solely on bass nor treble but sort of a mix between these. I LOVE a deep bass THOUGH, to go with my love for dubstep drops etc. But I'm not interested in beats by dre.
With what will I use them? Mainly two things. With my computer for producing/listening to music and with my iPhone on-The-go. I'm also planning on getting an external soundcard LATER on! This means that I want headphones that don't weigh too much. Mobility is a plus!
Budget Around $250
what type of headphones? I prefer over-ear
Description of what I want. I want some sort of hybrid headphones between producer and casual (high quality) listening if that makes any sense. I want to be able to MAKE music with clear and precise sound but still enjoy deep "goosebump" bass.
Many headphones I have tried so far have bass with no punch or great bass but a treble that hurts. I don't want this
Lastly I'm quite sensitive when it comes to fit, there's nothing worse than headphones with a too loose fit!
I realise I sound extremely picky but don't hesitate whatever you think might suit me!
Sincerely Sebastian.
You might want to look at the product offerings of these guys. http://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/sound truenorthI'd probably go to amazon.com or newegg.com and start reading reviews. I can't imagine spending $250 for a headset so I have no idea what's out there at the price level. Heck, after taking a look on those two SITES, I didn't even see any headsets costing that much. Some links to check out:

And... http://www.headphoneinfo.com/d/Reviews.htmWas at a store where they focus on good quality hifi-equipment. Tried on a pair of FANNY Wang DJ 2000. What are your thoughts on them? Are they good? Do they deliver sound quality that is worth 220 euro?
