Hey y'all. New guy here

i'm looking or a decent circumaural headphones here. For usage with my iPod and my coming-soon laptop. currently not looking for amps as my budget is somewhat tight.

would be using it for music and gaming, quite obviously. i know naught about headphones so a little guidance is needed here. budget would be around the 200 range.

i'm not much of a bass junkie or whatsoever. but good surround and decent bass would be good. as i'm a fan of rock, metal and alternative.

suggestions please? thanks in advance

edit: noise cancelling possible?

I'm looking for circumaural headphones. Is Sony any good?

leaks sound eh? no isolation means... i'll still be hearing outside sounds right? as in no noise cancelling and such?

decent volume, means not at a volume damaging to the ears right? is it better than the default SonyEricsson walkman phone earphones? i mean, the sound buffering effect?

edit: been checking a little and the MylarOne X3i and XBi seems to be very popular. is it really that wonderful? i'm curious as to the main difference between an in-ear headphone and a circumaural type one. i always thought circumaurals are better.

ahh.. so basically, for plug and play usage and all, the mylarone would be better? i assume that when wallabies say "with proper setup" what is meant is that with amps and all?

hmm... i plan to use the headphones with my iPod Classic and my Vostro 1500. would a Mylarone be good enough? of course i'm a gamer as well and a rock junkie so the quality is a matter...

lol! is it really that good? hmm... i've added Yuheng on msn but he's yet to accept i think. lol.

well, thanks for all the guru help! xD

i think i'll most probably go for the MylarOne, just have not decided on X3i or XBi. any suggestions on that front? xD
