Hi everyone here!
Too many questions. Sorry about that!
I am planning to get 2 sets open backed and another closed back. Primarily listening to rock/metal/classical. The sound need not be too accurate. I like a midrange emphasised sound. No need for too much bass.
I was thinking of going with grado sr 125i or audio technica ath-ad700(or ath-ad900) for listening connected to my desktop. How is the approach of the Sennheiser HD 598? Is it exciting for rock/metal? Although I own the hd 215, I am not such a big fan of flat sounding headphones, they must sound fun.
For closed ones, I have decided to go with one of the following:
sennheiser hd 25 i ii
sennheiser hd 380 pro
beyerdynamic dt 1350
onkyo es hf 300
Philips fidelio l1
Ultrasone hfi 580
Which one of the above must I go for? Are there any akgs or audio technica headphones that would be better?
I am unable to actually test any of these headphones out as I live in India. Please guide me to what you think would be just right also considering my musical preferences.
Also I dropped the audio technica ath-esw9a from the list because in many reviews I read that it wouldnt be too good for metal/rock. Was I wrong?
