So i'm totally new to the HiFi world and would appreciate a little guidance. Went to a buddies last week who had a really good set up and really opened my ears to what I was missing with the crappy no-name headphones I have now.
I ordered components for an O2 + ODAC build because it gets incredibly good reviews for the price range. A few things are on backorder so I tried to take my time researching to find a good pair of headphones to fit my needs, read way too much and now I think I need some things put in perspective.
My budget is ~$200/300. Not stuck to it but I really don't want to overspend which I have a habit of doing. These would be just for at the house (I'll keep my in-ears for traveling) so open headphones will be fine. Music taste is kind of all over the place. I'd say hip hop mostly but I am NOT a bass head, find it annoying when it overpowers everything else. I'm not afraid to buy used but I am sort of a germaphobe, so they would have to have new sets of earpads available.
AKG x70x are what I'm leaning towards now, and HE-400 seem to be well regarded so they would be an option as well. Any suggestions or insight is appreciated.
