Hello all,
I have a friend who recently listened to my Beyer T1s and fell in love with their sound. Unfortunately, he only has a budget of $300 for headphones, so the T1s are out of the question.
My question is directed toward those who have heard the T1s: what other headphones have you heard that have the most similar sound signature to the T1s but can be obtained for around $300? I found this question difficult to answer...I don't think the K701s or HD650s would be a good choice, but I don't have much listening experience with the lower Beyer models or the HD600s. Maybe one of these would be a decent choice?
To summarize, what I'm looking for is a pair of headphones that:
-- are full-sized and circumaural
-- sound similar to the T1
-- can be had for ~$300
There are no other requirements, although it would be a plus if they sounded good without an amplifier.
Thanks for your help!
