My American Audio phones broke. (Finally! I hated those things, but I needed a better excuse to get a new pair). I'm in the market for a new pair. I like to get a decent pair and use them for everything.
I make music in Ableton Live, and would like the phones to have decent sound quality. I'm not looking for pro studio phones, because I have good monitors that I use but I take my work with me a lot and would like to use them on the road. (I used to have $70 Seinnheiser HD205's, and they were good for what I need)
Also I need them to be (can't think of the correct word here) really good at keeping exterior sounds out, and the music in. With the American Audio's, if I'm on my laptop or listening to my ipod in a lecture hall I can't really enjoy my music because the prof's voice overpowers the music so I need to turn them up, but if I do then everybody else around me can hear it too lol.
And finally, I know a lot of you will think this is stupid, but I would like a pair that are somewhat stylish. I'm not talking like skull-candy's, though, but something that I can wear around campus, on the bus, etc. and won't look like a total dork. Lol. One option on my list is a pair of WESC's phones. Don't really know much about them, yet, though but they are very good looking.
*This isn't absolutely vital, but would be nice* - It would be handy if they had drivers on the larger side , because I DJ once or twice a week.
Oh yeah and my budget is ~$100 or less.
