New Head-Fier
Well you know, I already listened to various high priced headphones at times aver the years ( to remember a few : Final audio D8000, Audeze LCD 3, Sennheiser HD800 and 800S, Focal Stella, a few Staxs- i don't remember the exact references). Of course, I found them good, especially the Final -IMHO the best of all these, but they were less balanced than the good budget headphones I use especially the Senn HD560 S (the only "neutral" among them were the Final and the Staxs).
The extra definition of these high priced phones at the expense of neutrailty is not such an advantge to my ears and tastes -classical and jazz oriented- and IMO nothing can justify such higher price tags.
So I won't go for them, and I've no regret at all.
But, I could go for a 400 to 700 $ Hphones with the same neutrality as my day to day Hphones with some extra definition and a better overall built quality and fit (not need for luxury looks anyway). Of course, it's always possible to use HQ to improve tonal balance, but as for me, a good Hphone as to be rather well balanced straight out of the box.
I'm waiting to know if the MM-100 can fullfill my requirements.
