For a while now I've been considering getting a new set of headphones, and I've looked around but haven't found "the" pair for me. I had planned on getting some new cans before moving a few weeks ago, but I was just too busy to do it. I've been using a pair of JVC on-ear headphones that I got on sale for $50, but they are pretty poorly made. The Sennheiser hd558s caught my eye a few months ago, but they just didn't seem to be right for me; aesthetically they looked great but they didn't fit my use when I borrowed them from a friend.
General info:
-The type of headphones I'm looking for is an over the ear type, with a preference for padding that fully encloses the ear. As I said earlier, I've been using on-ear headphones, and while they're alright for a short period of time, a few hours of use and it begins to really irritate my ears. I also would prefer ones that don't bleed sound, since I take public transit to university. That part isn't all that important to me, since I don't mind turning the sound down, but it would be nice.
-The main use of my headphones is for the computer. I watch quite a few movies/shows/videos on netflix, youtube, and through other streams. Then I have video games, which mostly include MOBAs and FPS games. While ingame I do use VOIP, if that makes a difference. I also tend to just listen straight from my phone (an iphone4 - yeah, it's hipsterish, but my S3 broke and my sister had a spare phone).
-I do have a quite eclectic range of songs that I listen to. On the one hand I have some RnB, and then I have some death metal. But I mostly have techno music; hardstyle, dubstep, DnB, trance, and other miscellaneous genres. Overall though, I do tend to enjoy fairly pronounced bass.
I have a budget of about $150 Canadian to work with (hopefully).
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
