Hey ya'll, just read this thread and there is some great info. I recently dropped some $$$ on a pair of Monster Turbine Pro Golds and have really been enjoying their sound. By the standards on this forum I guess you could say I am a bit of a basshead, though I don't want it washing out all the detail. I am looking for a pair of full-sized headphones mostly for home use although portability is nice. The only full size cans I have owned are Bose QC2s I got as a gift way back in the day. Gave them a listen after jamming to the MPTGs for a few weeks and I couldn't name one thing they did as well or better. I know they are older/Bose but I thought surely since they were full-size they would have a leg up over an IEM in some department.
Anyways I don't want to break the bank on a full-size pair of headphones. ~$100 is a number I can feel good about. How does the M50 sound signature compare with the MPTGs? I want at least that much bass if not more. I want high bass quantity/quality without destroying the details in the recording. Most of my files are 256-320kbps although I do listen to the occasional 128kpbs file. Sources are ipod classic 120gb, iphone 4, 13" MBP
Phones I am considering so far:
M50
Sony XB 700
DT 770 Pro 80 ( at $200 more than I really want to drop but they seem to be pretty popular)
I have also been considering the E5 amp and the L3 LOD cable, though I have zero experience with amps and I do want something that will sound great without an amp.
Thanks for any advice ya'll have.
