I wanted to get into headphones...but then i found keyboards xD
no money to buy a decent set of cans
..someday..
You'd be surprised how little you can spend and come away with an outstanding set / setup. Specifically, the V-Moda M-80's that MSRP at $200 -- which most people even on head-fi would have to include in best entry-level bang-for-buck discussions -- are now down to $145-160 regular price on Amazon, and can occasionally be caught on sale there for $130 new. Crazy good headphones for exactly the same price as a good mid/high-end
stock mechanical keyboard. Give up one keyboard you were planning on buying and "someday" could be next week's audio revelation.
If you want to take advantage of opportunity while it's there, go one step further and get in on the Massdrop going on right now for a Fiio E17 for $100 shipped, and pick up anything you need for using its digital input, and for $250 total, you are all set with a highly-portable/-versatile solution (for virtually any platform you choose, I might add - PC/Mac/Linux, x86/ARM).
I live in Oregon so that's pretty slim picking haha. I've looked around on head-fi but never pulled the trigger on anything.
I bought a V-MODA Crossfade LP2 awhile ago and I absolutely love them. That being said you should prob try an ad700 when you can Dubsgalore those are pretty amazing and comfortable for their price.
I got the Crossfade LPs in late 2011 as my first ever attempt at a decent pair and was generally really pleased for the price. Really respectable if you're into bass-heavy music -- like a savvy consumers' secret for getting better Beats, at 75% off.
Then BF week '12 came along and I found the M-80s on Amazon on sale for $130 & couldn't help myself. Long-story-short, the LPs have been sent to 'time-out' in the corner indefinitely, or until I can figure out why I bought them. The M80s are that good, comparatively, for such a reasonably marginal cost. I highly recommend, if you're interested in upgrading. Only catch is you have to dedicate yourself to making on-ear work for you -- but it's worth it in the end.
