Looking to get my first set of headphones. Any suggestions? Like to keep it under $500 since I don’t really know if it will be my thing. I was thinking of a used pair of Koss esp9’s.

Koss, you starting a headphone museum?
If you never owened headphones, or even know if you will like them, then start with a pair of HD600/650s for a couple of hundred bucks. Just my 2c's.

I'll second the HD600/650. If you don't like them you can sell them in about 5 minutes.

What do you think about Bluetooth headphones, are there any problems with the sound quality? I'm thinking about HD 450BT

Yes, sound quality will be negatively impacted by using Bluetooth. If you need the wireless functionality, then it's certainly the way to go. If the cord isn't a big deal, then you're better off keeping it.

I have Sennheiser RS185 wireless headphones for tv/movies and for music during my too rare workouts. They sound surprisingly good for wireless. To my ears, their sound signature is very much like the HD6XX.

I was seeing a Youtube review of Grado Hemp (which are excellent btw. Bottlehead S3X with Grado Hemp is such an addictive combo) .
Anyways there were a lot of good things mentioned there about the wireless Grado GW100. Perhaps it might fit your needs. Worth checking out..
