New Head-Fier
Hi everyone. I've lurked on this forum for a while and decided to make an account because I really need some advice. I wasn't able to find exactly what I was looking for.
I listen to a lot of electronic music. Mainly electro, future bounce, future house etc.
Are there any headphones out there that fulfill most of the criteria below?
1. Have a detailed punchy bass without sounding muddy
2. Have a bit of a V-shaped signature
3. Have detailed highs without being fatiguing
4. Can be cranked up to very loud volumes without distorting (I know it's almost a sin around here, but I like it loud some times)
5. are comfortable enough to wear for hours
Even though I love bass, I don't want it to drown out the rest of the frequencies too much.
My current headphones are the Hifiman Sundara paired with an Arcam rHead. I really like how they sound except that the bass is too flat for me. I tried to EQ them but that didn't work very well. I've also owned a pair of sennheiser HD25s, which I thought sounded pretty fun even though they were far from perfect.
These are the models I've been looking into buying:
-Fostex TH-900
-Sony MDR-Z1R
-Denon AH-D7200
-Audeze LCD-X or XC (I've heard that they aren't very comfortable though)
-ultrasone pro 900
Closed or open doesn't matter too much to be, but I prefer over ear
Are there any cans I should know about that that might suit my needs better?
Thank you so much for reading this wall of text. Sorry for being a bit of a newbie.
