Hey everyone, I'm currently in the market to purchase some new headphones. I had an old pair of Bose QuietComfort 2's about 10 years ago and I loved the sound the produced and the active noise cancelling that they provided. It was amazing to go on a plane, put the headphones on, and not hear a thing.
I use studio monitor headphones at work (I do video production) and have a pair of Sony MDR-7506's. While I like them, I feel like they just don't carry enough bass for my liking. I like a good range, but enjoy having lots of low end frequency power.
Right now I'm looking at either the Audio Technica ATH-M50x's or the Bose QuietComfort 25, but wanted to see if anyone else here could chime in with other headphones they enjoy. The big pro for the ATH-M50x's are that they have a detachable cable, but the con is that I'm not 100% sure they will have the power I want on the low end. For the Bose the pro is that I am almost 100% sure I will love the sound, but the con is that they don't have the detachable cable. If the cable on the Bose gets caught anywhere and rips, I'm basically screwed unless I want to attempt the fix myself or have Bose fix them.
As for price I'd like to keep it under $300 if possible. The more noise cancelling, the better!
