Adept
Purpose - Music (Rock, Classic, Pop and Metal)
Quality - Not exactly an audiophile I am, but clarity and bass is desired.
Budget - 1.5-2k max is enough for a non-audiophile like me.
A few points to be noted:-
1. In case of headphone, metallic headband is a 'must'. I've broken a few el-cheapo plastic ones easily.
2. Must be comfortable and not cause any hearing loss.
3. Wireless (no bluetooth[1]) is preferred, or at least long cords.
4. Build quality is an essential deciding factor.
5. Attached mic is an added advantage, but not necessary. Doesn't have any say in final decision.
[1] - My ThinkPad has bluetooth, but I don't want to take any chances as
bluetooth audio support in not very good in Linux, and not at all in Solaris.
I hope to get good and practical suggestions for this purchase. hyeah:
