Been out of the market for a while, but am looking for something more grab-and-go than my SE846s with custom molded tips, and wanted to get some suggestions.
I've been reading up and there are a lot of new brands, but most of them tend to be V shaped or "neutral". I dont want neutral. I want:
- tight and deep bass (not overdone)
- rich, creamy, thick mids
- smooth-to-dark highs
Basically, a similar palette to the 846s or LCD2s. I'll listen to mostly orchestral stuff on them, but also a mix of metal, rap and rock. Source - everything from AK to triple-stacked iPod/CLAS/Conti to my Samsung phone.
I could get a pair of SE545s - had a pair, gave them to my better half, but i'd like to try something different, if possible.
Any suggestions? TIA.
ETA: My top candidates at present is the Audio Technica ATH-E70 and possibly the Noble Audio Sage, if i can get a chance to hear it.
