Hi Head-fi, it has been quite some time since i last gazed upon these pages. Within a few months of joining I had purchased, a solid pair of open phones (225s), a solid pair of closed phones (DT770s), and a solid pair of IEM's (im716s).
I found out that I really dont like IEMs that much at all, too much of a hassle, and too awkward for my likings.
Well I was told to go run away,and I did, and considered doing some sort of mid level collection, with one phone from each house, however decided I didn't want to.
Anyways, the real reason I am returning is that I am purchasing headphones for my cousin for the holiday season. He has a "pair of 40 dollar Senns that he hates, as they are too shrilly", and had "a pair of 20 dollar Sonys that were good, but stepped on" and "another pair of bad Sonys".
The trouble is that he has a very discriminating ear, and is VERY into music, both in producing, performing, and listining. He loves radiohead, and is very into indie music, yet loves high production values, and gets very annoyed by shrilly sounding, or base heavy speakers or 'phones. He also wants some circum-arural phones, and some closed phones, as he frequents subways oft. With him being such a sound snob, I feel as if I cannot let him down, please, help.
