Best all around for newbie - Page 2

I own a pair of M50s and what cakensaur said "but i don't agree with the treble, its quite screechy at times and came across as painful on a few tracks." is completely accurate. They are a pretty good headphone though and as a first high end headphone you may not even realize there is anything off about them. The M50s aren't a bad first but especially since price isn't too high and all around they are pretty good. And the M50 may also be uncomfortable for you as well, there was a clamp at the top of my head when I first got them that somewhat went away after stretching but still slightly bothers me, but on the other hand my brother has always found them comfortable and never complained of a clamp. So that may be another consideration when choosing a pair.

you wouldn't so much need an amp, however you would benefit from getting one.

Even a tiny one like a Fiio E6 would be beneficial.

yeah.. its actually fairly decent for the price as well (e6). E11 again if you wanna step it up.. which is a bit smaller than an iphone.

80 ohm Dt770 is the bassiest Dt770. i have it, its excellent for its price, incredibly comfortable and while a little on the bright side, i don't find them overly so.. it actually gives a fair amount of energy to music which is very needed i find.

Headphones are very diverse. with lots of flavours.

its all about finding what flavours you like really.

 

I hope you are satisfied with something you buy!

maybe you will end up keeping all 3? ;)

ouch.. $1200.. 

I think i'd cry if i had to spend that much on books i didn't wanna read ;)

I've heard law school reading material is expensive... but holy cow!

You don't need an amp for the DT770 I run mine straight out my iphone 4s, They really are a great headphone The best way to describe is musical and full of life. They are also built like a tank i use mine as my portable i've sat on it(i weigh 255lbs),dropped it and still like new lol.

That seems fairly alright. I just spent $500 on two text books alone. (Mechanics and Electronics) I haven't counted all my receipts but I think I am near the $2000 region this semester for books.

 

I bet your tuition is higher though ha ha. 

an E6 doesn't do anything except eq changes and volume boosting imo...

well yeah if you need volume only the E6 would be good, just that it doesn't really drive the headphone's qualities out
