how bad is the sound leakage with the denon d2000s
how bad is the sound leakage with the denon d2000s
IMO the worst I've heard next to open cans. It's pretty noticeable from a few feet away.
Hi all. I've been looking online at headphone information and have come across this site a few times and it looks really helpful, so signed up.
I created a new thread before spotting this one, so could a mod please delete that one? Apologies for that.
I currently have an Auzentech Xfi Forte sound card (with built in headphone amp). I bought a Razer Carcharias headset a few months ago as I had neither speakers or mic, but I know have a desktop mic so thinking about getting proper headphones. I tried my mates Grado SR80i the other day and they sound fantastic, as if you're there live with the musicians and can hear the drum hit, etc. They are lacking a little with the bass though, so have to turn that up on the card. In comparison, my Razers sound quite flat and flabby and my Bose on-ears have way way too much bass.
I want to try a few in some shops if I can, but don't really know where to start. There's probably a lot of brands I've never heard of. I listen to a lot of music (rock mainly but also hip hop and dance), watch movies and play games, all on my pc (flac, bluray and dvd). So I need something quite all round. I'm open to any type of headphone, be it closed or open back, willing to spend above £100 if needs be, but obviously don't want to spend over the odds just because of a brand name like Bose and Beats. I want something clear, well defined (but not tinny or harsh) and not booming bass, but punchy.
Hope this is enough info to be useful, if not, let me know. Cheers and happy new year!
The Grado's are great for certain types of music, I am definitely a fan for rock and a few other genres, but they won't have the soundstage you need for movies or games. Also they tend to get a bit fatiguing after a while.
I would recommend the KRK KNS 8400 as a good all-rounder, but it seems to be a bit more expensive in the UK than it is here in the US. They make a less upscale model, the KNS 6400. Do a search on both here at headfi and see if they look good to you.
Other possibilities include the Creative Aurvana Live! and the Sony MDR V6, and both are well under £100.
Hi everyone, I am looking for closed cans for outdoor use and commuting. I am choosing between the Sony mdr v6 and the m50. I listen to rock, pop, hip-hop, electronica. I like slight emphasis on bass, not all boomy but tight. Please suggest one of these, thanks.
Ps: I can't extend my budget
Pps: I want to know about a decent portable amp/dac combination, preferably under 100 usd. I'd be getting it next month
Thanks again
