I'm deciding if I want to upgrade my IEM's or my fullsize headphones, and I'm thinking I would end up with a better upgrade if I upgraded my full size headphones.
My only dilemma with high end cans is amping. I have a cMoy, and that's it. It has high/low gain and a bass boost. I would be running it through my computer primarily which sports a Creative X-fi XtremeMusic.
I love my Grado's and the bass boost that the cMoy gives it is a nice warm and not boomer, but FULL sound and I love that, so I guess I'm looking for an upgrade to that.
$500 is already expensive, so that's the maximum. I'm already not sure if I can justify the upgrade because these Grado's and cMoy seem like they couldn't get any better, and I almost feel spending $300-500 more won't get me that good of an upgrade. Prove me wrong?
Oh yeah, my music is either ALAC or 256 MP3/AAC and up files. Main genres: Hardcore, Metal, Acoustic, Indie, Alternative, and some Rap and Hip Hop. Open or closed doesn't matter, but I've always been lead to believe open is better, but I'm also in a dorm with a roommate, yet it's still no big issue.
