hellooooo
i'm looking for a pair of headphones that are very similar in style but offer better sound quality.
i've never personally heard a pair of Beats Solo headphones, nor many others but after watching some youtube videos and reading a few reviews and comparisons, i've come to find that the general opinion about them is that they're too bass heavy to the point where it ruins the balance with treble and so on.
I've read a lot of people usually recommend a pair of Sennheisers or Audio Technica, and explain how they'll have far superior sound quality for a lot cheaper, but they don't really like how the headphones themselves look.
so far i'm looking at the V-Moda M80.
i've googled others such as the Fanny Wang 1000 series, AIAIAI TMA-1...
i've also read reviews on the Sennheiser HP25-1-II (which seems to be the benchmark for these type of headphones?) but it's a little too expensive where i live.
the Fanny Wangs i tried in store just seemed...fairly ordinary, sound quailty wise. the bass didn't have much 'oomph' and it feels like my $20 Ultimate Ears in-ears have more 'oomph' than they did. i read a comparison between them and the Beats Solo, and the reviewer came to a conclusion that the Fanny Wangs provided a similar amount of bass, but without muffling out other parts of the sound compared to the Beats Solo. the TMA-1s sounded much better and had a much more premium feel, but i've yet to try the V-Modas, which i've read pretty good reviews about.
i plan to use them mainly on my computer, android phone, laptop when at Uni. i wouldn't mind using them for some gaming every now and then either.
do you guys have any opinions?
