Hey, new here. Not really an audiophile but signed up to get recommendations for a good pair of ear buds. =)
Hello, everyone!
I love both music and audio equipment. I consider myself to be an audiophile, even if not as much as most people on this forum. I currently own Sennheiser HD800. I absolutely love them!
I have lurked around this forum for several months now -- in particular, this forum was very helpful with choosing a good amp for my headphones (I ended up buying a WA7 Fireflies -- my first tube amp, and I love it).
In terms of headphones, I also own Beyerdynamic DT990 and AKG K601, both of which I used before I upgraded to my Sennheiser HD800s.
I have never needed to post anything here before, as I have always found what I needed just by searching and reading what others have posted. Now, I finally decided to make an account.
In terms of music, I am mostly a fan of Metal (and its various subgenres, especially Progressive, Folk, and Symphonic metal), some rock. I also love folk and world music from all over the globe. Also, I sometimes listen to jazz and fusion (like Billy Cobham and such).
The thing I hate the most (from audio-related things): Loudness wars and bad mastering, especially if it clips.
Hi, how do you find the 800s with rock/metal? I'd be worried they'd be too cold/clinical?
