I've heard some of the most praised open headphones: O2, GS1000i, PS1000 (not so praised, I know), hd800...
each time with a great set up: (esoteric cd player and luxman amps for the hd800 and the grados, dcs puccini and srm727 for the O2)
these headphones are my only experiences with high-end audio, and I have been rather disappointed by them.
I've liked the gs1000i, especially its soundstage and its somewhat more "romantic" sound signature. I hated the hd800, I've found it overly bright and thin sounding...
the O2 left me unimpressed at best, I just don't see (well hear) what's so special about them...
what should I do then? try to find another type of sound signature? get out of this hobby?
well, I haven't tried any high-end closed can to this day exception made of the d7000 wich I hated even more than the hd800 for exact same reasons...
should I try closed back cans then? what cans; dx1000, ath woodies?
any help will be greatly appreciated...
