Oh snap, I was just hoping for a sentence or two. You don't have to go through all that trouble but I'm not gonna look a gift audiophile in the mouth.

1. What build style are you looking for? IEM, on-ear, or supraaural (over-the-ear)?
|
Over-the-ear.

2. Are you interested in noise cancellation, either active or passive? Do you have a preference between the two? (If your mother's basement is fairly quiet then this may not be an issue.)
|
Nah. Little noise in the house.
I'll tell you when I have one lol, but definitely no more than $200.

4. What model(s) have you preferred in the past?
|
I know next to nothing about headphone models.

5. Do you prefer a heavily colored sound signature (mega bass or peaked highs and lows), or are you looking for studio headphones with a flat signature (good if you'll be doing any mastering or digitally transposing analog recordings).
|
Uh... I honestly don't know as I don't have the best ears in the world for sound differences, or at least I haven't owned enough pairs of headphones to be able to know. But I imagine I'd prefer something with enough bass/peaked highs and lows/whatever-I-don't-know to make a thrash metal song ****ing thump. Sorry I can't be more help here.

6. Are there any other features you're interested in, such as wireless, Bluetooth, durability, portability, rich aesthetics, battery life, etc?
|
Not really. Except like I said long-term comfort.

7. What is your content source? Listening directly from your PC? Is it mostly 320CBR or lossless? Are you using a dedicated DAC?
|
PC, 320, and wtf is a DAC?

Let me know and I'll be happy to make a recommendation.
