Hi all,
This is Shrayan from India. While I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I like good music, and good gears for them. I keep following Head-fi for related informations. My taste for music ranges from classical (both Indian & Western), Pops, Rocks, and probably every genre exists (except hard metal rocks), but mostly music with more emphasis on vocals.
Currently I'm in search of a pair of Bluetooth over-ear headphones (because I don't find in-ears that comfortable to use, and the JBL on ears I have kept slipping all the time on some quick movements of head). I will mainly use it for travel & all, and for the price I'm definitely not willing to break the bank. Planning to use it with the Fiio x1 ii/ my cellphone - ASUS Zenfone Max 2016 Edition... will prefer to stay on the comfortable side of $100 (lesser is obviously better, provided it gives decent quality).
Shortlisted the Ausdom m05, Ausdom ANC & Archeer AH07 according to the budget and availability... but did not find enough convincing headfi ratings or number of reviews for them, while most youtube reviews felt biased and not much have been said about the sound quality. At some point thinking of buying all, but again 3 of them, and of the more-or-less similar quality will be an waste of money. The Archeer looks beautiful & are also foldable, but the odd shaped earcups & less number of reviews on head-fi are going against it, on the other hand though the Ausdoms has nice round earcups & more reviews, but some complaints regarding its muffled highs and non-foldable design makes it less suitable for portability. I don't really need the ANC features, specially if that comes for additional $50.
So, as you can guess, I'm really confused here. So, any inputs/ other recommendations will be appreciated regarding this. Criterias for my needed wireless headphones in a nutshell -
1. It shouldn't sound bad to my ears which are habituated with Ath-m40x cans for last 2 year paired with fiio x1 DAP - while some more base & sub-base will be welcomed, but highs, mids & trebles should be preserved very well. The most important criteria here
2. Budget - sub-$100
3. Preferably foldable (as almost my 100% use will be outdoors)
4. Not so importantly - good looking & less bulky (well, who doesn't like a good-looking headphone to pair with their fancy dresses while going outside)
Regards & thanks in advance.
