Oh these sound cool. I love any kind of electronic, hip hop, r&b, and alternative. Headphones are my thing. I've been searching for a good balance between strong bass with extended highs but with solid mids. Fast enough where fat bass lines won't distort the vocals and efficient enough to be driven without an amp. Can the spiders accomplish this at a better price? Always looking for the best value to recommend to my price conscious friends.
I own AKG K181(close, great bass, good highs), K518 red ones and white ones (good but not enough highs),K460 (no highs) , K430(fatiguing highs), K420 (not enough bass), Audio Technica M50s (awesome but $), ES 55( mid centric), Denon D2000 (also awesome but $$), Sennheiser PX 100 (good but could use more highs),PX 100 II (better lows but exact same highs as original sounds unbalanced) HD 238 (needs power to sound best. One of my fav portables but needs amp), HD203II (bloated bass becomes evident), Sony MDR V6 (good rez overly bright, bass not extended), Klipsch Image Ones (awesome but $, new fav ports) and Samson SR-850 (aka superlux 661. extremely high resolution, awesome mids, nice highs but not enough low end)
Of my headphones the Samson's surprised me with their price to performance
The mids are unbelievably realistic and with good highs. The bass is the only end lacking and if these had the low side covered they would win my head time.
Is there anywhere I can hear the Spiders now?
