New Head-Fier
Hi All
I'm looking for a new headphones and will appreciate your help/advice.
I collected a lot of information from head-fi.org forums and it was really helpful to me. I found that there are a lot of experts in audio on this site. But now I have some specific questions that is difficult to solve for me from general product reviews or discussions.
Previously I had FiiO X3 player and Audio-Technica MSR7 headphones (for about 3 years).
I liked sound quality that they have but now I want to do a significant upgrade and buy audio system that has much higher level of quality.
I have already bought FiiO X7 mark 2 player and FiiO A5 amplifier.
Now I need a good headphones with appropriate sound quality. My budget is about 400$ - 800$, and it is flexible.
But I want to get something with really good in terms of value/price ratio. And with sound quality that is much more than MSR7 that I already have. I think there is no sense for me to get something for $300 as I already have MSR7 and want to do a significant upgrade.
My favorite music is rock (examples: Scorpions, Queen) and electronic music (examples: Enigma, Orbital, Crystal Method, Robert Miles) ambient/break beat/acid jazz/instrumental electronica.
I think headphones that are more universal and good for all music genres (like MSR7) are also good. My main goal is to listen rock and electronic music at home.
Secondary target is gaming - but it is not a priority.
Also full size over ear closed headphones will be better for me as previously I had only closed ones and liked them.
Thanks is advance!
