Budget - Under $200.
Source - On board audio on macbook pro. Would possibly consider a dac/amp combo if it becomes a problem.
Isolation Requirements - Looking to block out constant air handler noise, possibly low office noise.
Preferred Type of Headphone - Over ear.
Past Headphones - I've had 3x HD-280 Pro over the past few years. I really like these. Two of them died when the headband snapped, and my third is now dedicated to the office.
I'm looking for a set to use at home. The air conditioner in my apartment makes it difficult to hear any TV/Movies/Music, so this is my primary motivation for buying. My HD280 does a fine job for this, but I don't want to carry them to work and back home every day.
The hd280 series has been very dependable for me and I like them a lot. When I first purchased a pair they were a really sweet spot for price to performance. Now that I'm looking again, I am wondering if these have been defrocked from this price/performance throne.
I'm currently considering the Grado SR60i, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, and the trusty HD280 Pro. What others should I consider?
ATH-M50s are the best possible headphones you can get in that price range. You won't be disappointed.
