Hi all,
I have gone through quite a few iem's and have generally been quite happy with the sound. I have decided to try to see the other world of the full-size headphone range. I own a few iem's but generally use the re-0 and hje-900 now. The re-0 is more neutral for my slower more vocal music where as the hje-900 is a bit more v shaped for my slightly more bassy music. When at my desk i usually use my harmon kardon soundsticks. I am also considering on getting a sa-6 or sa-7 based on how the sa-7 reviews turn out.
Sorry for being so long winded but I guess what I really want is a pair of headphones that could be an in-between of my soundsticks and my iem's. I generally listen to all genres of music but I guess if I had to make a cut, I would prefer something that tended to be slightly more neutral. I have been told that headphones also give a better soundstage compared to iem's which is why I have decided to venture into it. Seeing how headphones are supposed to have a better sq than iem for the price, it should be an upgrade from the re-0 at least and hopefully better than the sa-6.(hopefully even the sa-7 when it does come out)*Sorry if I offend anyone for trying to get ppl to compare a headphone with an iem, I am new and not sure if it is even fair to compare as headphones and iems might be apples and oranges.*
I am thinking about buying a telcast t-51, so if it could run un-amped off a telcast t-51 is a plus but not a must.
Many thanks in advance and apologies if this is another one of the many many noob asking for recommendation threads you guys must see endlessly. Oh yeah and a preferable price is loosely about $100, might go slightly higher if it is justifiable better and certainly wouldn't hurt going lower.
