Hello everyone. I am legally blind and live on a fixed income. I am in the market for a full size headphone for use at home. Here is what I am trying to do.
$100 or less for headphones
Will use an older iPod Touch or six year old computer to listen to music
I have a Headroom Total BitHead as a USB DAC and amp
The main material I will be playing on the headphones will be audiobooks, acoustic music such as Eric Clapton's Unplugged, acoustic music such as folk and bluegrass, and classical music. I have no intention to listen to modern pop or hip-hop.
Right now I am considering the Grado line of headphones. The reasons for this are they seem to provide quality at a budget price, do not need a powerful amp to drive them, and finally...they are made by a few people in a small shop in the USA. In other words I would be supporting a small business rather than a large corporate business such as Bose or Dr. dre. Thank you for your help and advice.
