Buying headphones - suggestions wanted

Respenus · 10-17-10, 02:19 PM

Well, time to turn to those with more experience on the subject. Until recently, I've been able to use external speakers for my PC, yet going abroad and with a laptop, together with the fact that disturbing my neighbours with brass blazing in the middle of the night isn't something socially acceptable (or even allowed according to house rules), I've been thinking about investing into a quality set of headphone. I'm getting sick and tired of the iPhone ones, which are defective to start with.

Now, I don't wish to give away a fortune, but I'm not ready to buy some 5$ waste of a product. So some middle ground is sought for.

So those of you, who would kindly share their knowledge with me, what would you recommend? Now, my only requirement at this time, apart from the price, is that it must be adapt at playing classical music. I'll be damned if I have to hear another symphony through the speakers I have right now. So sound quality is an important issue, like with any audio product, giving you nothing but the most simple, or the most impossible mission concerning the subject.

So, any takers? I would be grateful for any advice.
