Hi all,
I've found a wealth of knowledge here and some great threads. Cool community here
I realize this topic has been discussed previously. I'd like to start a fresh thread though.
Anyways, I've been in the market for a new pair of cans for a while now. the Sennheiser 595, 600's, Grado 225, 325, Beyerdynamic 770, 880, AKG 701, Dennon 2000, Audio Technica M 50, Roland, Sonys are on the radar.
Will be doing primarily home listening & some studio work with them. Do want a little bass oomph to the cans as I will listen to a good amount of electronic music and other bass heavy genres of music. Open and semi-open cans would be fine - comfortable cans would be bonus. I'd like to run them through my mac powerbook g4 and emagic emi 26 soundcard, if possible (don't have a headphone amp yet).
Any recommends / other headphones to consider?
The Beyerdynamic DT 880s were leading the pack and I was close to buying them. After doing some research here, looks like the DY 770s might be better suited for my low frequency listening needs? Will be testing out some AKG 701s soon to.
Thanks for the help folks.
