Hi all!
After a long Head-Fi hiatus, I thought I'd knock my audio setup up a notch and purchase a Schiit Audio Modi / Magni 2 Uber combo to replace my ageing ASUS Xonar STX. So far, I'm *really* enjoying the improvement they've brought about. I'm currently using a pair of Ultrasone PRO 900s, which I think have served me well, the Schiit stack has opened them up slightly, added more detail and brought the highs to life.
I'm now looking to switch from my PRO 900s as I think the mids are a little recessed and maybe the bass isn't quite as refined and as detailed as I'd like.
I'm hugely into my electronic genres, so, trance, progressive/deep house, dubstep, etc. But I also listen to pop, indie, ambient and some classical. I do find the PRO 900s to be plenty boomy in the bass department but I'd perhaps like a little less, I'm moving more towards quality over quantity.
My perfect headphones would be detailed across the board, no recession, fun, punchy, not too harsh on the treble but with perhaps a *little* emphasis on bass, the more detailed and resolved the better.
Budget is £400, just for the headphones. I'm flexible if you really think I should go for something.
Thanks!
