Hi,
I am just getting started in headphones. Bascially I moved in with my girlfriend and there is a need to move away from always listening in speakers to give her some space in the small apartment too and thus I need to listen to my classical music (opera and classical piano mainly) in headphones every now and then.
I borrowed a pair of Denon AH-D2000 over the weekend and I think they sound great in comparison to cheap headphones, but I read here on the forum that in a recent thread that the D2000 is not to recommend for classical music. I am not an audiophile so I don't really understand why not.
1) Could someone please give me tips on other phones in the same price range that would be more suited for classical music?
2) And perhaps a couple of words as to why?
3) Also, I started looking at closed headphones mainly because I think they would let less sound out in the apartment, but I don't really know it it is enough to matter to someone else being in the same room, and if it impacts the quality of the sound I hear? I do notice however, that my ears get a bit hot after 45 minutes of listening or so. Is maybe open headpnes to recommend?
I would really like some help orienting myself in this djungle, I probably will not buy a new pair of headphones for many years so I would like to buy a pair that I will not regret.
My hifi setup is a computer with lossless music >> DAC Magic >> NAD C316BEE.
Thanks a lot for any help on this matter!
