Hello, i know this question showed up a lot of times, but i need your help.
I want to buy K701 from the moment i saw them, but now, when im ready for this im feeling some hesitation, because of the thought i can get something better for this money (450$ in my city). It will be my first expensive cans, so im nervous. Now i own Ultrasone HFI-580 btw, and i like them.
Well, let me tell a little about the music i listen to - it is mostly post-rock with loads of violins, pianos, acoustic guitars and so on(Godspeed You! Black Emperor, From Monument To Masses, The Samuel Jackson Five, sgt., Magyar Posse, Maybeshewill are the most typical, if it'll tell something to someone ), and i also listen to minimalism (like Max Richter, Ludovico Einaudi etc.) and some electronic music like 8-bit, glitch-hop. So, i think i need great highs and great middle, correct me if i'm wrong.
Now about amping — for my new pair of cans i bought a fiio e7, everyone talk so much about. I'll change it for something better when ill get deeper into this audiophile things
I'll use Cowon S9 as a source.
So, can you tell me what else i can get for this money? I also thought about Sennheiser HD650, but 1st - i don't like how they look like (yes, i know it's not an argument here, but still), and 2nd - i can't listen to them, because of the shop i use don't have them.
Thank you in advance
PS I don't need great bass.
