Leisure and streaming headphones. Budget is up to $200
Main features desired: nice bass and super comfortable for someone that wears glasses
Open to in ear or over ear headphones
Right now I like the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm
What is leisure or streaming? I wanted to know if you use them at home on the PC or on the go with your phone
If at home, airpods are a bad idea. For "nice bass and super comfortable" the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro should be exactly what you want.
If you go for the 80 Ohm variant you wont need an amplifier/soundcard, but they will benefit from it.
In the sub 200$ category IEMs can be a real gamechanger but they are not everyones cup of tea.
I recommend going for a good over ear headphone (DT 770 Pro or Sennheiser HD599 - which might not fit your usecase as well as the Beyerdynamics, but if you have a shop with good return policies they might be worth a try) and
if you are interested in IEMs buying a cheap pair for use on the go. I can recommend the Salnotes Zero, Truthear Hola, Tanzu Wan'er or Kiwiears Cadenza. These are all around 20$ and are way better than Airpods if you dont need the additional
features that the airpods have like bluethooth or touch controls - You might need an additional cable/device to plug those in if your phone does not have a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack.
That way you have a nice pair of headphones for PC and a nice pair of IEMs for on the go.
