Hey guys can you help me a little bit. I might be buying a mojo and xduoo x10. I am confused between meze 99 classics,b&o h6 v2,oppo pm3 and audio quest Nighthawks. I want a detailed crisp and clear sound with good rumble in bass and good soundstage. Highs should not be harsh and fatiguing. I listen to almost all genres of songs and also play games. I might try them and then buy but still opinions will e good. Thank you
It is difficult to tell, which headphone you personally would prefer. All we can do is to help with our personal experience, and from the many personal experiences you might be able to form an idea whether you would like a recommended headphone or not.
In my opinion Nighthawk is the best choice of this four, and not only because I personally like them very much. The original Nighthawk has just been discounted significantly, making it a bargain. (And the old stock will sell out quickly at this price.) I absolutely love Nighthawk with Mojo, but some people find it too warm and lack upper frequencies. I think, they could not be more wrong, but for the objectivity I had to mention it.
Meze 99 seem to be a nice option too, many like this headphone, however I know forum members who prefer Nighthawk over the Meze, and the new Nighthawk price makes this decision easier IMO. I would choose Meze, in case you do not like Nighthawk sound signature.
Nighthawk and Meze both will leak sound, and they are for home use.
The PM3 and the B&O H6 are closed and portable, giving a different listening experience but more portability. IMO sound-wise they are not as good as the two other, but can be a good option on the go. H6 is on-ear, which design I hate. PM3 is planar which means the sound is clean and clear. Some people miss bass and liveliness with PM3 compared to other headphones in the price range.
If you need it for gaming too, I would not choose closed back.
Your best option IMO is the discounted Nighthawk. Alternatively you would probably be happy with the Meze. I wouldn't recommend the H6 or the PM3, unless you want to go portable. Fidelio X2 might worth to check out. I think they are underrated and very good value for money. (Although be aware of possible production quality issues.)
Fostex X00 has the best bass rumble I heard, but it is basically closed back, so again, not the best for gaming and for the natural sensation of spaciousness.
I know, it is a bit boring to recommend the headphones I use, but for me they are just perfect (natural, organic sound with good bass, ear-friendly and natural treble, extreme comfort). I think, they are the best deal under £500 out there. And in the US you can get them for $350, until the old stock lasts. In fact, I think Nighthawk is a class above all the other options we mentioned here.
