Hi everybody,
while I'm visiting this forum (and headwize.com) for quite a long time now, I was always too lazy to post a thread...
Well, being a proud owner of a brandnew CD3000 for almost 2 weeks now, I cannot stand still anymore
. Because YOU, you damn guys at headwize and headfi, are responsible for my empty wallet...
(I shouldn't complain about that, as everybody here knows...)
My headphone journey began 4 years ago, when I moved together with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, something we didn't (don't) have in common, is my love for HEAVY METAL music
, so I was "forced" to buy some cans... Without having heard anything about headphone amplifiers, or knowing anything about open/closed design at all, I bought a Beyer DT831 because I liked the design and the sound when auditioning at the "Media Markt" (some kind of consumer electronics super market in Germany)
.
Concerning my "dumbassness" at this point, I still think it wasn't a bad choice at all... But then I started to search the internet about headphones and stuff... and the misery began... Well, not much later I realized that I would need a headphone amplifier, and got an Amity HPA6, which I still like a lot for it's detailed, dynamic and "punchy" sound. Then I needed to upgrade the source (bought NAD C542), found that the DT831s are far too bright for my tastes and decided that I need to get another phone (DT880), realized that an open design was not good for my relationship with my girlfriend (and therefore not good for my health)
And finally, I purchased a new CD3000 for a very good price (300 Euro). I think it fits perfectly with my music taste, my source/amp and my relationship
The only thing I miss from the Beyers is the deeeeeep bass, that the CD3000 cannot reach. On the other hand, it offers supreme upper bass and midrange performance.
But I sweared to myself to STOP NOW (at least for a while)... So cheers to all you guys here, who helped me building an opinion about this and that, and offered me quite some time of pleasant reading...
