Looking for a recommendation of good pair of portable full size phones
Budget - $200 sorda flexible I would prefer to stay under though.
Source - External sound card and android phone
Requirements for Isolation - No preference really
Preferred Type of Headphone - full-sized. idk about open or closed. I would prefer either a removable cord or a straight cord. Taking a 6 foot curly cord to school isn't really practical. Also I wear fairly thick rimmed glasses 50% of the time so I would prefer some comfy pads. I'm not completely against IEM's, but I have just never owned a pair that sounded as good as the full-sized phones I've owned.
Preferred tonal balance - I like bass, but I wouldn't call myself a basshead. So I'm leaning more towards a balanced range.
Past headphones - I'm not really an audiophile so I cant really add much more detail, but I enjoyed my sony mdr-7506's up until the left channel shit out. That's why I'm getting a new pair.
Preferred Music - house, dnb, post-rock, instrumental hip-hop, minimal electronic, various other things
God is an Astronaut - All is Violent, All is Bright
I will probably be playing games with them, but I don't really care about hearing footsteps and shit like that. I have a pair of logitech G35's if I need that.
I was eyeing the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PROs based off of a recommendation from a friend, but it looks like only the 250 ohm version only has a curly cord and the 80 ohm looks to expensive.
