Hi all!
Just wanted to start out by saying, brand new to head-fi, super excited!!
looking forward to the long and most likely expensive journey that this wonderful forum will take me on.
What I have What I like to listen to:
At this very moment I'm listening to Techno, with a rap song, and heavy metal song to follow on etymotic research's 6i headphones on my iphone. Love the depth, noise cancellation and accuracy these produce, but use eq's to spice up the music.
General Background on what I know about these headphones
I've read so many posts about the love of their SR60's and it sounds like they are "fun" headphones. But to my understanding they are open, which means not so good for noise cancellation, and means I'd bug other people in the library I'm in right now...
Sennheiser 580's I've been told are great dj style closed headphones.
Looking for...
good sound, with decent bass (but not overwhelming fart cannons)
Grados sound seems exciting but I think I'd be better off with a closed headphone that wont disturb others, and cancel out some of the environment (i like to get away with my 6i's even in a somewhat loud environment). (how loud are grados to others close by anyway?)
Good headphones that don't need pocket amp to be powered, going to be running straight from ipod/iphone/computer
Random question: will grados open design be annoying and take away from the music if I'm in a windy environment aka snowboarding?
Open to any and all other suggestions on other headphones. Price range <150 probably around 100, but sr60's price point is also appealing. What is the difference between the sr60's and the other step ups in grados line up?
Once again Looking forward to exploring Head-fi and getting into crazy sound the way it was meant to be heard!!
