I have been away from the headphone market for a couple of years and is looking for a new set of open cans.
Been craving something else lately. Something better than what I already have and something that can deliver the following characteristics:
- Soundstage
- Transparency
- resolution
- musicality (not a huge fan of analytical listening anymore)
Would like to avoid:
- hot highs - no sibilance after burn in
- bass-head material - overt bass emphasis
I listen to electronic music (mostly ambient), classical and jazz primarily.
Been looking at: (but dont know a whole lot about them yet)
Fidelio x2
HiFiMan HE400i (is QC better with their more expensive headphones?)
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Amp: Graham Slee Solo Ultra Linear
Budget $250-$500
