100+ Head-Fier
hello, would like to kindly ask if anyone would have a good recommendation for a headphone with that setup... currently I have a grado sr-60, and an akg414p, not too impressive.. but I'm new to audio equipment... so I thought of trying it out... I'm listening mostly through my computer with the e7 right now, and my ipod/phone with e7... I've been using the grado's a lot but frankly... I really don't see the hype yet... I've burned it in.. listen to flac files through foobar... the music was ok but I am not good at listening to 'quality' sounds yet I guess... new to audio stuff... but so far... I like music... so it's great to not be listening to stock earbuds...
well back to the point... I was really hoping to upgrade my headphones/cans, to something more since I hear there's a lot more better options... so I'm going to get myself an e9? because i already have an e7 so it seems to be the more economical way to go through the upgrade of amps... but I'm not sure which headphones I should get... so I've been looking through the forums and it seems the next step would be ....
akg 701s
grado sr225/125/325...
the others I'm not quite sure yet, definitely not one of those tesla's yet... def out of price range at the moment...
but given that, I was wondering if that would be a good choice... or is haveing an e7 and e9 combo an overkill for those headphones since I heard the grado's work well even without an amp, so maybe I'll just be wasting my money on the e9 when I get the grado's... I thought maybe those suggested options are not 'high-end' enough to warrant a good amp yet... would anybody have suggestions? maybe I should wait to get one of those t1's, ps1000, before upgrading my amp setup? I mean sometimes, I don't use the amp for my sr60's and the music actually sounds better (is that weird, haha..), I find the e7 too warm and it actually misses some of the oomph of the songs I have... thanks...
oh and does the yuin pk earbud really sound that good? I mean coming from a normal looking earbud I doubt they could deliver as much punch as a headphone or a senn p100...
