the best overall? I think so too. But I had the th600
now if your looking for same sound sig. the two cant be anymore different
I know it's not comparable
I used to be into IEM (shure e2c, westome UM2 then UM3x). When i went into headphones i realized how bass is so good when the driver is bigger. The problem is that TH600 is not very portable plus don't have detachable cable. On the TOP of the problems with headphones is that they need powerful amps to reveal their potential. And the thing is i don't often listen to music at home. I live in Paris and am often in the Metro which is a perfect place to listen to music in my case. So i need portable. I had JVC SZ2000 for a week but sent it back because of a channel imbalance. I didn't order another one cause i have a small head so i could feel the bass slamming my salivary glands which were a bit unpleasant (SZ2000 is pretty big). Currently i have a vmoda m100 which is driven well enough with my HTC m8 + ibasso T3 but i m looking for an upgrade. IEM will allow me to have extreme isolation which could be great in the metro. And from what i've read here ASG 2.5 is like subwoofer + will give me better soundstage and instruments separation. So it should be a kind of upgrade.
Edit : I also forgot to insist on the fact highend bassheads headphones need powerful amps which are always too big for my convenience. I already find my HTC m8 big so having something almost as big to amp the sound is annoying. I'm still waiting for the day we will have a cayin c5 with the size of a fiio e6.............
