Headphoneus Supremus
Hi there,
I have approx $800-900 to spend on a pair of cans.
I have just come from a pair of LCD2's.
I sold these for 2 reasons.
1) People at work unhappy with noise
2) Too heavy (I have hurt my neck and I can no longer wear them, gives me neck pain and migraines)
It was almost still worth it, I actually still have the headache from my listening session 2 days ago.
The new cans dont have to be closed back, but would greatly prefer, as I can then use them on the train to commute, at work and at home.
I mainly listen to Rock/Metal, however I listen to almost all genre's on occasion.
I like bass. I am not a bass head, but I like to be able to feel a bit of impact and texture. (Cello on the LCD for example... MMMM)
I dont want anything too bright if possible as I listen for extended periods and well coming from the LCD's I appreciate that darker tone.
My source is either a Gen 4 iMod and e12 fiio amp while moving and
Foobar to AudioGD 15.32 Amp/Dac at home/work. This is quite a musical dac so it will take a little bit of the sparkle out of brightish headphones, but still.
I have the following short list.
Open:
HD 600
HD 650
Grado P500
Closed:
TH900 LOL for $800-900
TH600
Mad Dogs for now then Alpha Dogs once available.
D7100
I am open to other suggestions however I think most closed back headphones worth mentioning are outside my budget.
So hit me with your suggestion stick, headphones in general with a preference for closed in aid of practicality.
