    Bose; no highs, no lows, just Bose.

    2 options in my opinion, for a pair of headphones to listen to in the house,

    Senn HD598s (or HD555s for a still very good but half the price alternative.)
    These are an open air type set, so they are much easier to listen for a longer period of time, but allow noise in and out of the headset.

    or

    Audio-Technica ATH-M50 - these are consistently rated much better than set that cost 3x as much. These are closed eat sets so there is much better outside noise blockage.

    Stay away from Bose or Beats, look at their marketing campaigns if you want to know where most of your money is going. Senn + AT have built there reputations in studios around the world. You won't find a set of Bose or Dre's or Skullcandy in any place that knows what they are doing.

    senn and AT are both good, and bose stands for Buy Other Stereo Equipment. Look at Grado's for some proper headphones.
