Does anyone have any advice on how to buy headphones? I was in Sam Ash today and all the information the salesman could give me was generic descriptions of various headsets (example: these sound great…this is a brand name…I sell of lot of those, etc).

Do I just tailor the headphones to my needs or do they actually sound different?

My needs are:

Rugged use as a DJ
Collapsible
Use with my computer sound card (possibly need volume control on the wire)
A full ear cup (to block outside sound)
Good bass reproduction

Anything else I need to look for?

I’m NOT doing recording with them so that’s not a factor.
