100+ Head-Fier
Its a such a long time i haven't posted that i may just introduce myself again, i'm a quite a newcomer to the forums, i have signed almost a year ago but haven't frequented the forums much, so i apologize for any ignorance i may commit.
To the question then.
First of all i want a new headphone for home use,i currently have a very battered Superlux HD660 that i've been using for the last 2 years, its decent, but i want to improve on that, since i've been listening to more music during the night and i dont want to mess with the neighbors.
I researched a bit and came up with some models that are in my price range, some more expensive than others, but i can manage to gather up a few more bucks to spend if the product is worth it. So here's the list:
1- Sony MDR-7506
2- Roland RH-200S (The silver model because i absolutely cannot find the black one)
3- Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
4- Audio Technica ATH-M40X
5- Philips SHP9500 (is the hype to be believed?)
6- Audio Technica ATH-T400
7- Audio Technica ATH-D40
8- Koss Pro4AA
9- Koss Pro4AAT Titanium
For the home i want a big, confortable headphone, it doesn't have to be pretty since i'm not trying to make a fashion statement, so that's why most of the models i've chosen are studio monitors. I mostly listen to older (mid 80s, early and late 90s) rap and hip-hop, modern rap and hip-hop, bossa nova, general MPB genres, jazz, acid jazz, blues and gauchesca (this), so i would enjoy a more sharp, yet not exagerated, bass response. I also game a bit, mostly the FPS genre with titles like Overwatch and BF1, but that's not the focus. These are going to be amplified by my old Denon AVR-1602 for now, but i'm going to buy either a Denon PMA-50 or a Cambridge DacMagic Plus and a power amp (for my speakers) in a near future.
I embrace suggestions as well
As for the IEMs, i want a cheap and reliable IEM that also has more sharpness on the bass, not much, and of those i've separated only 3 different models, a bit more simple this time.
1- **** 4in1
2- KZ ZST
3- TFZ Series 1 (the matte blue one)
So, which one of the headphones and which one of the IEMs should i pick up?
Thanks since!
