Hi,
I initially was looking for portable (bluetooth) over/on ear headphones. But after reading a bit I decided
that it is probably better to go for good IEMs.
I came across the KEF M200 which seem to be really good, my price limit is around 300 USD.
I listen to:
metal/metalcore (rather bass heavy), classic, mostly piano (e.g. Ludovico Einaudi), acoustic Guitar, sometimes Audiobooks/Radio Documentaries
The headpones are mostly connected to my laptop and smartphone (android). Currently I don't have an amplifier or better soundcard.
My questions are:
- Are they suitable for my purpose above?
- Will they hold tight when doing sports as well? (running)
- Will they work ok without an amp/usb soundcard or should I get one?
What I'm not sure about is that they go in quite deep, I never tried that - I think if they were a bit lose it would be more
comfortable..
Alternatives I found include the Monster Turbine Pro.. but there are just so many choices..
Thanks a lot,
Christoph
