My family went to Fry's to buy my sister a netbook. They ended up with an Aspire One for $250. That isn't important though, off to my story...
I wandered around looking for computer parts. And after I was done, I decided to listen to the Beats for some odd reason. The volume was way lower than Best Buy, so was able to tolerate them. Long story short, I hated them still. Then I went to the audio section (I wonder why the Beats weren't there.
) And lo and behold, there were PFR V1s on the listening booth! I've been wanting to hear them for God knows how long, so I did.
They are aurgasmic. The mids are just right, the bass is punchy while still being tight, the highs were pretty, the soundstage was incredible, and they were obviously very airy. And this is all underamped, most likely. They completely demolished my other headphones in every aspect, even in a loud environment. Then I looked at the price. They were good, but not $400 good. That's getting into Sigma range, which is my dream headphone.
All this is making me reconsider keeping DT48s. Michael, don't worry, I'll still buy them because I'm curious and I probably won't find another pair of A's for the price I did. But, I really want to trade them for an open headphone. I've realized that what I've been missing and wanting to hear is airiness. FWIR, DT48A's are clausterphobic. That's pretty much the opposite of what I want.
Anybody with Sigmas want to trade?
