Good Evening Everyone,
I posted a small intro in the introduction thread. So I will skip that, and move right along to my dilemma.
I've entered a stage in my life where once something's in my life were common place but are no longer and it's time to usher something new in. The new being audio.
My original goal was to find a high quality pair of wireless headphones. That's all I originally wanted. So I tested a few models and began to realize that wireless might not cut it. That what I really wanted was an authentic listening experience that was second only to being live with the musician sitting right in front of them. I wanted to drive my listening experience to hear every instrument, every voice, and every note whether high or low. I wanted the full experience of hearing. I want to suck the marrow out of the music, the creativity of the artist, and come out licking my fingers in sound.
I think it is important here to note some issues that I may have with finding the right headphone or audio experience. First I live in sunny southern California but not necessarily in a prime location where I have access to a plethora of electronic shops or audio facilities. I'm about 90 miles outside of L.A. so that is my big issue with finding the right equipment. From a purely physical issue I have tinnitus which can be excruciating at times and it is constantly on. Also I have a small popping sound in my left ear. So I may not be able to physically hear everything perfectly but I want to get as close as possible.
As far as my musical tastes go. I can from classical to heavy metal. I grew up with the latter and find myself being pulled toward classical and jazz more strongly now. That doesn't stop me from taking time out to listen to Daft Punk or other electronic music. I do tend stay away from Pop because listening to Justin Beiber makes want to jump off of a cliff. He is not musical, he's a gimmick. Sorry but that's just me being me.
Anyway, I will be looking over all of the buying guides but like I mentioned earlier I feel that while my headphone obsession is genuine I do also feel that I may not have a full grasp of what I am truly looking for.
My budget for headphones is about $400. I think that puts me into a reasonable area with capable models to suit my needs and desires. I will mostly attach these headphones either to my Macbook pro or iPhone 6+. This is where I'm sure some will go, that will not do at all. And please feel free to express what I will need to get the listening experience that I want.
I just had a wooh moment. Listening to a sampling of Air on the G String by US Air Force band that came up on my audio player on my PC. Wow I can hear the instruments but not as clearly as I would like. I know this has to be better on a really good pair of headphones.
Anyway please give me some helpful suggestions on what you think might be my best route in order to get my listening journey kick started.
Thanks in advance.
