First of all, I'd like to say "hello" as this is my first post here at Head-Fi. While perhaps not an audiophile in all senses of the word, I certainly despise all maximized, compressed, brickwalled, noise reduced music. I look forward to any future activity in this lovely community.
With that said, I will take my turn as the leech with a question. I plan on purchasing the newly released 4G iPod Nano this week. As such, appropriate gear is required so I can spend even more money. I own several pairs of headphones including the CX-300 and the Crossroads MylarOne XBs. What I enjoy is a flat, "true to the recording" experience ('natural' is most desired but if the original recording is not natural there is little to be done). I understand that the newest Nano is a tad bright? Thus, the headphones would need to 'counter' this in some way or at least compensate. Again, my goal is to simply listen to the recordings as flat they are presented-- any EQ or enhancements will be done on the computer, away from the iPod.
Any suggestions, then? Inexpensive as possible, of course, but quality pays.
And any amplifier/mods/extra gear that would be recommended for my tastes would be greatly appreciated as well. Portability and price come second, but are of course delightful if they are all found within one product.
Thanks.
