Is there a difference in directional cues/soundstage between each of the DT880 versions (32, 250, 600ohms) in first person shooters?
Ok, I have done quite a bit of research towards getting what I want out of one or two pairs of cans but I would still like some input from the folks here. I mainly listen to big band jazz and techno, I also want a pair of phones that I can use in places other than my home. I'm looking for something that can really bring out all of the tones in the jazz as it has a wide range of frequencies. Most importantly I want something that would bring out the highs a bit above the rest, for this I'm thinking sennheiser hd 650's. As for the techno with the low electronic bass and all that I figure that the hd 650's are not going to cut it. So I thought that the shure srh840's would be a good choice considering I don't have loads of money to spend. However, I have heard good things about the bass as well as the mids and treble in the denon d2000's. I have also heard that they do not isolate very well and as such I might not be able to use them in public places. Would it be worth it in the long run though to just go for the d2k's instead of the srh840's? Also, I would also like suggestions on what amp/dac to buy as I do not yet have one. I for the time being I plan to source these from my htc evo, ipod touch 2g and my old compaq laptop. Eventually I would like to upgrade my source, and ideas there?
So, that's about it. Sorry for the one long paragraph. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
I hope you are happy Head-fiers. You have infected another person with the head-fi bug. I have finally made my decision and purchased the AKG Q 701. I could not be happier. The depth of detail and fullness of sound is better than I though. Now I just need an amp/dac (probably E7). Bad part is now my IEMs sound like mud in comparison and of course I want new ones, haha. I only have a few hours of listening to them but like I said couldn't be happier. Review to come after a few more days of listening. Thanks for all the info and help. Hopefully I'll be able to give back to you all with my expanding knowledge.
Hm, I have been looking into the Grado SR-325i...
What desktop/portable amp would pair well with these?
this doesn't exactly fit the topic, but it is a noob question and its probably better to ask here that start a new thread about it. Where are the best places to find high quality music files?
I need advice on how to sell a headphone amp I don't want..it says I'm not allowed to use the classifieds
