Hello everyone,
I'm really glad I found this great board... because I want to buy my first pair of headphones and don't want to get something I don't like to listen with...
I didn't get to hear a lot of headphones, but from what I've tried I don't like the subwoofer-like sound of the Philips HP 890 for example, which seems to lack precision when it comes to the bass. My father's AKG K 240 DF did get closest to the sound of my home equipment (Arcam AVR200 with B&W Preference 6 last series: not that much bass, but very tight and dynamic in my opinion, just a natural, clear, datailed and fascinating sound). Maybe you can give me advice on which headphones to choose - reading some really interesting posts here I got the idea that maybe the Alessandro MS1 could be the best choice, rather than the MS2 or any Grado... or is there any other good and affordable alternative?
I'm really thankful for every advice.
