Essentially I'm after some nice comfy headphones. Initially my ideal wasn't to go higher than £100, until I saw the Beyerdynamic beauties, which I meant stretch to if you think they'd meet my wants and needs. If I could go £60ish I'd be happier, but I prefer to pay once for quality, rather than repeatedly for lower quality.
These are what I'm currently considering and looking into further:
Usage:
Primarily MP3 players.
I use them in the office quite a bit, hence wanting closed back. The office is open plan, so I want to cut out the noise of it.
I listen to quite a variety of music, including Trance, Country, Pop, Dubstep, Rock. About the only things I tend to not listen to are Indie or Classical really.
For the amount I'm looking at spending (which is plenty to me), I'm after some that will last plenty of years, with good construction. I don't really want any that are too heavy either.
Something else which occurred to me is, are the ones I'm looking at pointless considering my less than stellar music sources?
I would really like to hear any helpful advice in what I'm after, and/or what I'm considering.
Thanks.
