#### Template: * Location * Budget * Intended use * Kind (open or closed, over-ear or on-ear) * Preferred tonal balance (or genres you like) * Past headphones and your thoughts on them * Source(s) (PC, interface, headphone amp, phone, ...) * Other requirements **Location** - If you are not from the US, knowing which country you're in is helpful since headphone prices can vary a great deal across the world. **Budget** - We need to know how much you want to spend. If you can, please also indicate whether your budget is a hard limit, or whether it is flexible. **Intended use** - What will you use them for? **Kind** - Closed-back headphones typically have louder bass, better noise isolation, less leakage, and greater dynamic range. Open-back headphones can feel more open at the expense of the aforementioned qualities. **Preferred tonal balance** - (to be filled in at a later date or perhaps never) **Preferred Music** - What do you listen to? If your music tastes are very esoteric, providing some examples (Youtube links work well) may be of some assistance. **Past headphones** - What have you used in the past, what did you like about them and what didn't you like about **Source** - What are you plugging these into?
