Hello Head-fiers!
I'm new here, and i've been doing research here in head-fi for weeks for the right headphones for me. I've found some good candidates, but I live in the Philippines, and most of the time the headphones I found suitable for me here in head-fi are not available here. I'm a college student and I listen to genres like rock, pop, and metal. I like punchy, tight bass for ex. red hot chili peppers songs. I really like hearing detailed bass in rock songs, because I play bass guitar and I need it for learning basslines in songs.
my budget is around $100. I'm using the headphones at home and at school. I'm plugging it to my Samsung Galaxy Fit smartphone (no amp).
I've searched for local sellers and here's what I found that I think suits me:
Grado SR60i: Brand new, costs PHP 4.7k ($109-ish) here in Philippines, with personal warranty
Alessandro MS1i : used, 8 months old(according to seller), modded(wooden liberators, wooden cups) price is PHP4.5k ($104~)
I really want to try the famous 'Grado sound', which is supposedly good for rock music. Which one do you think is the better choice? TY in advance
