Edit:
** I have decide I am going to need some new IEM's/canalphones more than an actual full size headphone**
Suggestions? (considering the 5 criteria's here below in this post)
Hi,
I was looking around for a upgrade from the sennheiser HD 555. I looked a lot around on head-fi.org, but I couldn't find a significant better headphone for me; concidering the following criteria:
- Will be using a mp3 player as source (still don't know which one, but i'll be starting a totally new rig)
- The headphone must be quite forgiving on mp3's, because I don't want to hear flaws too obvious. (I have hard time handeling sibilance.)
- It's comfortable to wear at least an hour.
Reasons why I want to upgrade from a HD 555 are:
- Don't really like the bass. It's there a lot, but not strong enough to me.
- Main Reason: It sometimes doesn't sound very muscial/boring to me. The HD 555 are said to be very good with classical. But I listen to a lot of things except classical. I do listen lots of Rock, Hiphop, Pop and Dance.
I am not specifically looking for headphones, maybe IEMS would suit me better. Well maybe someone has a good suggestion and perhaps with matching sources (mp3player/amp).
