Hi all,
Long time lurker of this site and first post. Looking for some good recommendations from knowledgeable people on these subjects.
I've just received a second pair of Fidelio X2's, after waiting a long time in hope the well documented manufacturing faults would be straitened out. Unfortunately both sets I've received have had a weird 'rattle' in the left ear cup when the volume is put up fairly high using my phone hooked up through a Fiio E17 headphone amp.
I'm no longer willing to keep exchanging this same model of headphone, and so I am looking for another pair which are similar in sound without going too much further above the same price.
My main preferences in a new pair of headphones were basically covered in the X2's - wide soundstage, pronounced lows while still maintaining nice detail, and basically a 'fun' sound, as I've read it described.
On the other hand, I feel I've also got such a pair of headphones, bought on the strength of reading through this very website, in the Beyerdynamic DT990's 250ohm. The only problem I have with them is I don't feel my Fiio e17 Amp is giving them enough juice for my liking, and therefore I'd be willing to settle on a good replacement for the amp and save buying another set of headphones. Then again, I wouldn't be opposed to buying both a set of headphones and a better amp!
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
