I'll have a Mojo in a few days and am trying to figure out which headphones would give me the best (which for me means most accurate) sound with it.
Edit: Never mind. Bought an HD 800!
I recently got an AudioQuest NightHawk, but it's so inaccurate I will probably return it. (After testing it with the Mojo, of course.)
Other headphones around this price range that I have previously owned include the HE400i, HD 650, HD 700, and (my favorite) the STAX SR-207.
I could get another used STAX system, but I'd rather find something that can be driven directly from the Mojo and excels with energetic music just as much as softer material. (I am perfectly fine with buying used, though I'd prefer new.)
Sound quality is the only real factor. Remember, I want as much accuracy as possible in every category: frequency response, detail, transient speed, impact, imaging, low distortion, etc.
I could afford nearly any headphone now, but I want to keep the budget to $400 for the time being because I want to reinvest the money instead of blowing it.
If you have heard many headphones with the Mojo, your insights would be especially helpful.
