Hi all,
First just wanted to say what a great community it is. Absolutely priceless information in this place and good people from what I have read. I used to be on here many years ago but forgot my username and email I used! However in my time here I got pointed towards investing in some ATH-ES7's and they were brilliant (if uncomfortable), sadly I had to sell them last year.
Now I am moving to America next year which is when I will really look at getting some 'great' headphones but as my other IEM's keep on getting stolen by my partner I was thinking of picking up some cans on a budget (but also have one set of IEMS in the lineup) to last me to the better purchase. I have been reading around and have narrowed it down to the following, if you could give your feelings towards what I have and noting the price range of each item it would be much appreciated as I am having a bit of trouble deciding between them.
Might be worth mentioning they will be mostly used indoors but I will want good isolation and to be able to take them outside with me from time to time. Coming from the ES7's anything will be comfortable! The list is as follows:
AKG K450 £42
Phillips Cityscape Downtown £50
Panasonic RP-HTX7 £32
ATH-WS55 £65
SoundmMAGIC E10 £35
If you have any suggestions let me know, trawling through the forums earlier at this price range there seemed like the way to go but there is such a wealth of information it was hard to consume it all!
Thanks!
