100+ Head-Fier
Hello All,
I have been a long time silent member (and a newbie) of headfi reading and collecting information. Recently I got the Marantz HD DAC1 (which is amazing btw)
My headphone inventories are
Klipsch Image S4
Etymotic HF5
Sennheiser IE80
Sennheiser HD 439 (Bass modded)
Denon AH D600
Most of the music I listen to is from Spotify premium (MP3 320Kbps) and FLACs from my fav bands (Korn, Deftones, Iron Maiden, Pantera.. etc).
I'm not a bass head. I like the Sennheiser IE80s of all the headphones I own. The guitars sound really nice on the IE80s ( are these sounds called the mids? ). I run them on my Cowon X7 + Fiio E12 Mont Blanc.
I was reading a lot on these forums and found that the Sennheiser HD 600s/650s are really great. But also found they are "slow" for metal music.
Does the Sennheiser HD 600 sound more close to the Etymotics?
I'm looking for some good headphones that work well with the genres I listen to. My max budget is 500 euros and also willing to stretch a bit more. ( Dynamic or Planar doesn't matter as long I can power it on my Marantz)
I'm from Germany and would also like to know some online shops for good used head gears.
Thanks
EDIT: I have ordered the Sennheiser HD 600s, which will be arriving tomorrow Hopefully it works great with my Marantz.
