Hi all!
I'm just starting out, and this site has been really great for research.
I've been reading a lot here in the past few weeks, and it seems common that a person forms a preference for a certain manufacturer's "sound," or a select few manufacturers' sounds. In order to avoid a total wallet hemorrhage, I'd like to try out these "house sounds" with the least expensive specimen of each that represents the brand accurately, like the SR 60 for auditioning Grado sound. That one's pretty easy to spot, but what about other well respect and popular brands? I assume Senns shouldn't be represented by their $25 earbuds, for example. I'm particularly curious about AKG (the 81DJ maybe? or would an open model be more indicative of the high end?) and Audio-Technica (the SJ5?) at the moment.
