Hi all!
I just bought a LYR amp from the company Schiit... So far, I'm loving it!
I was use to Sony MDR-CD380, yeah... Really old and CHEAP but well.. I bought a pair of PSB M4U2 for traveling 1 year ago and gave them a try on the Lyr... And that 40-50$ sony still has my vote when it come to compare both, mdr-cd380 vs m4u2... I know there's more detail in the PSB but it sounds more airy/spacy on the sony, also, i love the open style since I need to ear what's going on outside my headphones.
So, I like the sound of the Sony, a little bit less the PSB... I now want to upgrade my headphone and dunno which one to choose. I hesitate between a pair of Grado RS2, Beyer DT880 or Seinnheiser HD600.
I did tried the Shure 940 but didn't like his style, was boring listening to... Yeah sure, it was detailed and so on but well... I weared them like 10-15 minutes and they didn't make me a WOWI Gotta have those one! I also tried the Audio Technica ATH-M50x and I find the highs too agressive for my taste. Too much sibilance.
Where I live, can't test the Grado/Beyer/Seinn without taking a 4 hours trip! Also, I dunno if I can find a dealer with Beyer... and buying online comes with an issue for returning them... Lot of online dealer and retail store have a "No headphone return policy".
I don't know if it can be of any help but... I did own a pair of B&W 802D for loudspeaker and I absolutely love the sound but well.. quite expensive to put another pair of those giants in my office so if I can find a headphone with a similar sound, that would be great! (and NO I don't want to buy the P7 from B&W, they s..)
I'll relay on your help to light my choice!
Thank you
