Hello, as you can see from my sig, I have just started this hobby and is seeking a proper headphone for use at home. The price range is approx. 250 - 500 dollars. Keep in mind that I am considering finding a good deal for an used can (for example, I am looking to buy a HD650 for less than 240 dollars). With this in consideration, something like RS1 may be in price range also. Here are some cans that are in the general ballpark:
K701
HD650
RS1
DT880 (maybe Darth Beyered?)
I am sure I missed many headphones in this mid-fi - high-fi range.
I listen to a lot of classical, prog rock, 60s 70s rock, some electronica, and and some hiphop. I mostly like the sound of Shure E500, but for me, the midrange and treble sound a little too "rich" and "thick" for me.
By spending more than 250, I am seeking to see a noticeable improvement from the E500.
Any suggestions and pointers on the headphones would be appreciated.
Thank you
