Hey guys what's up
I've always been really into the audio world, but mainly have been cars/home/club etc. Never had a chance to use headphones much until now.
I just bought the ATH-AD700's, my first pair of good quality cans.
I think the clarity and soundstage is impressive, but the bass is lacking incredibly, as well as some midrange. I've tweaked the eq and still lacking.
I want phones with this clarity and soundstage along with great midrange and tight clean strong bass that thumps my skull. What phones do I need?!
Until today I've been using modded KSC-75's that I put into HD205's and they've been decent. They have more bass than these audio technica but don't compare everywhere else of course haha.
I'm looking around $150ish but if this isn't going to do it, what will?
Also for now I'm using a Creative Xmod I know I know, I'm order an Auzentech X-Fi Forte this week thanks to some recommendations from some of you guys on here.
What do yall think?!
Thanks
******AN UPDATE AND EDIT for those inquiring minds that might come across this*******
I hooked the ATH-AD700's up to my newly purchased Xonar Essence STX and my opinion of these headphones has completely changed. I was blown away that very first hookup and after a few weeks of break in I am able to push these headphones further and further to much higher limits. The sound is FULL, ALIVE, VIBRANT, CLEAR, and with some tweaking of the bands even the bass is very solid, ACCURATE, satisfying, and is coming around getting deeper and fuller more and more each day. I knew it all starts at the source and the hardware from doing car stuff in the past so I was expecting an extreme improvement with a very good sound card, but I honestly wasn't expecting it to be extreme enough to allow me to officially say these headphones that I wasn't "entirely" impressed with before and was getting ready to sell them, they are now a part of my arsenal and I am most definitely keeping these babies. HAHA
I am ready to do some exploring now though so ATH-M50 are next on the list.
Hey actually do you guys think the M50's are going to be better than the A700's?
You guys all rule thanks millions!
