Can anybody help out a newbie? I'm trying to decide which pair of headphones is right for me, but I'm having a lot of trouble deciding on which ones I should get. I'm willing to spend a decent amount on them, I just want to make sure they're the right ones.
I've had a lot of recommendations thrown at me and I've been trying to compare them but I can't quite make a decision. As far as my listening preferences, all you really have to know about me is that I have 4 12-inch subwoofers in the back of my old beat up Oldsmobile. Bass is everything in music to me. I do however want clarity in my music. I don't want a pair of skullcrushers that just sound like total trash and fail to hit low low bass notes.
Right now I have a pair of Sony xb500s, and honestly they're working pretty well for me. I like the bass they have, they're comfy, and they don't completely destroy the audio quality. Of course, it's never enough. So I'm wondering where I can go up from here. Obviously I've had my eyes on xb1000 for sometime, but I've heard a ton of mixed reviews on them. Two other headphones I've been recommended are the beyerdynamic dt 770s and the ultrasone pro 900s. I have an idea of what sound they offer, but not enough to make a set in stone decision. Any other choices?
Then also, I'm completely new to this world of headphones. It wasn't even a couple years ago when I settled for $10 buds from wal mart. one of my professors got me hooked though. But I'm learning! Anyways, I don't have any amps of any kind and wonder if with these high grade headphones, am I going to have trouble powering them? And if I bought one, would it increase the potential of the headphones' bass ability?
