I guess thats the term... Ones that completely cover your ear, so nothing stuck in the ear canal or pressing down on ear cartilidge.
No gimicks. No royalities to rap stars, no active stuff that requires batteries. Not overly huge either as this is for a travel kit.
I saw a set I kind of liked at Costco. Sony ones (they did have switchable noise cancellation ,granted), maybe $139 but I think the sale is over. I didnt pull the trigger because at lowest volumes they seemed muffled. I play my music or other media at very low levels, so would like to have quality then.
The in-ear high end (e.g. shure) headphones can sound really good (to me) at really low volumes, but they get uncomfortable after an hour or two.
I dont use headphones a lot, but for travel they would be nice. Again, this is a travel kit, so im willing to spend some bucks on comfort, but they could get lost/stolen/crushed, so that $139-ish level is about the max.
Id also prefer that the part that contacts the skin be replacable/common and of a long-lasting material, like silicone or leather. I had some that were pleather on a cloth backing, and when it started to break down and flake off, it made a huge mess.
Recommendations?
Thanks!
