Christmas is just around the corner and I bought myself a nice Traktor S4 to upgrade over my old Mixtrack Pro (I'm an aspiring DJ).
As you may have guessed, I'm an avid EDM listener. I mainly listen to Progressive House, Trance, Minimal and some dubstep. I currently own some Klipsch S4s and I've enjoyed them allot, but I want to upgrade. Although I somewhat like the warm sound of the S4s, I want something more analytical. I dislike the harshness of the highs on the S4s and I also wish the bass was faster and more controlled.
Anyways, I was looking to get some HD25s to DJ with and listen to them from my Cowon J3, but I decided I wanted some full size cans that I could really enjoy at home and on the go. What I’m looking for is cans I can DJ with and take around (easy to drive and have to be closed) and that I could also use at home from some sort of DAC/AMP. I have a budget of around $400 but I could potentially go higher. So this is what I want.
- Strong punchy bass, but controlled.
- Mid-Bass for EDM (basslines,)
- Good isolation
- More on the warm side but can still stay analytical
- Easy to drive
- Around $400
- Potentially may want a DAC/AMP for home rig.
Thanks for your time and happy holidays from Canada!!!
