I do a fair bit of travelling and listen to a wide range of music, including vocals, classical and rocks that I ripped and saved as ALAC in my iPod Classic. Depending on circumstances, I switch between my Westone 3 and my Ultrasone Pro 900 plugged into my Ray Samuels Predator to which the iPod is connected.
I have just placed an order for the SR71B from Ray Samuels and also the AlgoRhythm Solo from Cyber Labs. I now plan to acquire another headphone and although I will be using it while travelling, size is not an issue. I have read and would like to get the Audeze LCD-2 fitted with the appropriate balanced connector for the SR71B but understand this is an open back design. Since I intend to use the new headphone while travelling, I will have to rule out the Audeze LCD-2 as I like a headphone with better insulation and also do not like others to easily hear what I am listening to. As such, it looks like I will be limited to closed back design just like my Ultrasone Pro 900.
Other headphones I have considered include the Ultrasone Edition 8 and the Beyerdynamic T5P but their cables are not easily replaced. Are there any better choices? I am not looking for IEMs. I shall appreciate feedbacks from fellow head-fiers who share the same experiences.
Thanks in advance for sharing.
