It's finally time to pull the trigger on my now $125 headphone budget, a first foray into decent cans for me. Obviously, each set is a compromise, and I'm primarily interested in jazz, classical and folk listening. I know every pair is a trade-off (I like the idea of the AD700s, for instance, but they have some clear weaknesses). After poring over these forums, I think I've come up with a scheme, involving *two* pairs:
Sony MDR-V6 : Closed phones will be good when I'm in bed next to somebody, and in a tight space where open cans would be a bother. These seem to be well-regarded in terms of SQ and extremely durable.
Senn HD-515 : Not highly spoken of here, but I figure these will give me a nice open sound and good soundstage when I'm alone in the living room, especially for classical.
Together they add up to $107 (I am restricted to Amazon.com).
If anybody has any suggestions regarding this combination, I'd be glad to hear it. Thanks!
