First of all I just want to say I have recently bought a pair of Monster Beats by Dr Dre Studio Edition, more so for the fashion and style than the audio quality. I have come to fall in love with the tremendous upgrade of sound quality from my stock Apple earphones. Still, I hear people talking of headphones like Sennheiser HD800's and their unmatched sound quality so I have a few questions.
1. What is the best pair of headphones to use with an iPhone 4 for listening to music? I'm transforming into an audiophile by the minute, and my Beats have nice bass, but I would like to hear warmer mids. Is there a thresh-hold where the more money you spend will not upgrade the sound quality out of an iPhone?
2. How much better are those $1000+ headphones compared to Beats by Dr Dre Studio in terms of overall sound quality? You can give either a qualitative or quantitative description.
3. What do the frequeny and other ranges on the specs for headphones mean? In other words please explain as much of headphone jargon as possible for me please.
4. I have also heard or line outs and headphone amps. What equipment would I need to get started? Also, how much of a difference would they make?
5. I have been recently looking at the Sennheiser HD 580, Audio Technica ATH-M50S, and Bose QC 15. Which do think is the most suitable for me? Can you give a direct comparison please?
Thank you very much
