I have been lurking around here at headfi looking for reviews and advices on what full-sized headphones to get for my music, gaming and movie pleasure. I currently have the PFE driven by Fuze/T4 combo. The T4 really has given life to my PFE (thanks to miguel) and with it, I can now use the black filters and my PFE will never be bass light again. So far on what I have read and based on my very low budget (<$120), the following are my choices:
m50 - $106 (used), $123 (new)
ES7 - $85
AD700 - $80
If I can get a used one for more or less the same price, I would include HFI-780 and HD 25-1 II but I guess they are on the next SQ level compared to the first three.
I will mainly use this for gaming at home and some music listening away from my IEM. I would also want to use it to watch full movies if i want a cinema-like experience without the popcorn For music, I listen to almost every genre I have on my PC/Fuze. I won't be using this for commute or outdoor so portability is not a must as long as I could use it comfortably for extended listening. I have a T4 and an E5 so amping could also be tried. For SQ, I generally want to have a sweet mids, non-piercing highs but sparkly, and bass that I could feel aside from being impactful and extended.
Any comments and suggestions is much appreciated. Thanks and more power to Head-Fi.
