Looking for some headphones

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

I've been looking for some reasonably priced, full-sized and portable headphones but needed somewhere to get some good help with finding some. I want them to sound exceptionally good without overpowering bass. I have been looking at Audio-Technicas and would like it if you guys would suggest them. And remember, reasonably priced!

Set a real budget. List it. Reasonable, and price, does not go together when it comes to hifi. It's a relative relationship proportional to your acceptance is miniscule gain for massive price increase.

 

I assume by what you said you're ideally looking for neutral headphones that simply are good "all around" for all applications.

 

Some suggestions:

 

Open/Semi-open:

 

Fischer Audio FA-011

Fischer Audio FA-002

Beyer Dynamic DT880 PRO

Sennheiser HD600

Sennheiser HD598

Hifiman HE-300

Audio Technica AD900

AKG K240 MKII

Grados SR60i

 

Closed:

 

Shure SRH840

Fischer Audio FA-003

Denon D2000

AKG K272 HD

AudioTechnica A900

 

Pair with a soundcard like the Xonar DG ($30) if you're on a PC, otherwise, consider a separate DAC/AMP like a Matrix CUBE, Maverick TubeMagic D1, or something more portable like the Hifiman HM-101, iBasso Zero, Fiio E7, etc.

 

Very best,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I was thinking more of 40-60 dollar range, portable and nice-looking. But thanks anyway!

Do you like these? They are "full-sized and portable"...
