Hello!
I have been thinking about getting a pair of decent headphones for listening at home, as a complement to my ViSang R03 and PortaPro (Kramer+quarter mod) that I use on the move. The two most important aspects are SQ (of course) and comfort, and my budget caps at $100 for this, could stretch to $140 if it's really worth it (Poor student life, I hate you). The only decent source I have is a Clip+ which will have to suffice for now until I get the economy to get myself decent hifi equipment. Other than this I have my laptop, but no DAC. This will not have to fit within the $100 but will be invested in later, would the E10 be a good choice? Would be good to use the USB with my laptop, since it only has a common analog port and a on-board sound card among the worse.
Listening style: I would like the sound to be on the neutral to warmer side, a wide soundstage and they should be able to deliver crisp, detailed highs without stepping too far from the natural sound. My preferred style of music is very wide and includes IDM, classical piano, jazz, classic rock, indie rock, reggae, shoegaze and much more.
Just going to throw out a couple of cans that I think might fit my listening style, even tho I'm very new in the area. Please tell me your opinion, and of course recommend me whatever else that you think might fit:
Sennheiser HD555
Denon D-1000
Koss Pro DJ100
AKG K240
Grados SR60i
Any help or input from you guys would be very helpful!
Thank you,
Edvard
