Headphone/Amp setup for music creation?
I am looking for recommendations on a good headphone/amp setup for music creation. My son is making music on his pc and has just been using his gaming headphones. I want to get him a better setup. Budget is in the $200 - $400 range total. I personally like Sennheiser but I don't think he has any prefrences. The music is a mix of electronica, dubstep, and video game music. It seems very light on bass to me for dubstep, but hey, to each their own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJD1_KNeEhI this is one of his videos for reference. Thanks in advance for the help

The noise isolation is surprisingly good (these are my 1st Etymotics), so you get quite a lot of dynamic range. But I don't like the cable due to its tendency to add noise when rubbing/hitting against objects. I can hear my beard and it's loud :) It was not a concern with Westones.
If you're into analytical IEMs, want good isolation and don't mind the absence of sub-bass, then I'd recommend them for this price. If you like V-shaped ones, then go for something else. Also, if your budget is $500 and not $50, there are other more interesting ones. Would I buy again? Definitely yes.
