So I'm after a new pair of headphones which will be dedicated hi fi headphones, so can be driven by a headphone amp if necessary but the onboard headphone circuit on my Rotel RA-611 is pretty damn fine.
Currently I have a pair of Goldring NS1000s but they mainly get used while I'm out and about due to the noise cancelling. However, I'm after a pair which will let my music breathe a little better for overall relaxed listening. About the only thing is that they need to be heavy on the bass and have sharp mids, and I have a budget of about £150 but I can tack a bit on if I do need to get a headphone amp. Now, don't spear me through the face, but I did really like my Bose AE1, as they fulfilled this, and were still pretty good on the sound leakage problem too. So yeah, recommendations? I have been looking at Grado cans up to and including the SR125s as my local hi fi guy said he could cut me a nice deal on them even at high street prices
Thanks in advance
