What type of music do you listen to?

Do you have an amp?

At home or on the go?

What devices will these be hooked up to?

If a mobile device, what type of impedance?

Closed or Open?

On or over ear?

What type of sound signature do you want?

 

My favorites are the V-Moda M-100's but they work for what I want.

Other options are the ATH-M50's

Senhiser Momentum

AKG K550

Sony Pro MDR-7506

The M-100's are a solid choice.

If the M-100's are out of your price range, than I would recommend:

V-Moda LP2

Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro

Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros

ATH WS99

 

I am not a basshead by any means. So don't get the wrong idea from my choices. I produced a lot of hard dance stuff (Industrial, Hardstyle, Drum and Bass, Trance Techno) in the mid 2000's, and mixed at college parties and clubs. I know my audio well.

He says not too expensive, yet everyone is suggesting ridiculously high end headphones that require a whole setup which costs even more to fuel properly.

 

That is what happens when you ask strangers what you should buy without a budget.
