| Headphone situation?
Simple yet complicated. I have a 150$ credit from best buy that i can use at futureshop as well and i was thinking about picking up some headphones. Yes ive been looking around a lot for top headphones for under 200$, top headphones, head fi forum etc. Alot of stuff recommended isn't available in Canada let alone bb/fs and its usually 25% more $$ here. What im looking for is some full size (over ear not on ear) headphones. I used to use my old gaming headphones for awhile which were corsair hs1a because of comfort but sound was ok at best. Comfort is important. I dont want mega silly loose distorted bass but mike from soundsgood did most of my car audio work  so its got have some punch. Closed open im not to worried about. I dont want to have to buy an amp and i will probably be using this on my pc the most and ipad sometimes.
What you guys got for me?

Sennheiser RS160 is on sale (last day today) at Futureshop. Cdn299 down to 199.
Just go to Futureshop/BB's websites, search for over ear headphones and sort by price, then search for 3rd party reviews.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

Looking for something wired for pc and ipad, should have classified. I did check out lots of the reviews on bb and fs and i picked up a set of beats by dre solo hd on ear but they weren't 5 stars to me. i felt like my head was under water. I also go the jvc extream explode and those were also quite sad. Lots of times you dont know whos writing these reviews... could be a 40 year old woman or a 13 year old kid.

Yea checked those out on display. They were crisp but you nailed the bass issue.

They will open them up and let you have a listen.
