Hi there,
This is not a forum I've frequented often, certainly since the divide between full-sized headphones and portables/earbuds/IEM's (due to my serious interests being limited to IEM's up until this point). However, I am now interested in becoming enlightened to the world of full-sized cans- the marketplace and the respective technolgies and designs employed in this field- with a view to a possible purchase in the near future, but, also, in main, out of curiosity and thirst for further knowledge and understanding of this pastime
.
So, basically, I was wondering if there is a comprehensive guide floating around in this forum- similar to ClieOS's one, recently stickied in the portabe headphone's forum- that someone could direct me to to learn about this (main) branch of the headphone world? That would really be an excellent object to view in one place, as opposed to trying to piece it all together from disparate fragments myself (I get the impression that this realm is a lot broader than the IEM category!). If not, I would appreciate anyone who is generous enough to at least give me an overview of such, of which I could then go and research deeper into off my own bat.
N.B// I am aware of the 'Headphone Buyer's guide' but that is simply that, a list models within various price ranges and within the various headphone subcategories of design ie it assumes you know and understand and have a feel for, preliminaruily, the various designs, technologies and manufacturers etc.
N.B.2// I have also tried the advanced search facility, searching this specified forum, to no avail.
