I haven't worn any kind of phones for many, many years but thought I'd like to try using my streaming service when I'm out and about on the Parisian metro; usually a couple of hours per day with work.
Well, the world of headphones has changed since I last listened like that. I thought it would be easy to walk into a shop and pick one out, but the choice is horrendous.
I don't want to spend much 100€ max, as I'm not even sure I'll enjoy the experience. I looked at Bluetooth but it seems I might not get what I want on my budget.
I'd like something that blocks out the 70dB background noise, doesn't bleed noise. I don't want anything too bass heavy, it must be solid enough to be in and out of my bag all day. Light and comfortable too, and I wear glasses.
I'll be streaming Qobuz or stuff stored locally from my Samsung s7 which has aptX through developer's menu (don't know if it does anything). I'll be changing this in the summer when the contract runs out to an s9. I've heard that Samsung phones are not the best for audio but that's fine as I have a pretty decent home system, so not interested in getting external dacs.
My listening tastes are eclectic most stuff except classical, lots of jazz fusion at the moment.
Give me some options, please.
