Hi all,
I'm a fairly recent lurker and wanted to say 'hello' before I asked you for some advice.
I've been tittering on the edge of wanting to get some 'good' headphones for a long time. A few years ago I purchased some creative aurvana live headphones to listen via my iphone [this is my primary source of music as it's so portable and to hand as it were]
I have recently upgraded [hopefully] to some AIAIAI TMA-1's as I found them for a really good price and loved the look of them [I know aesthetics shouldn't really matter] plus the majority of my listening time is walking to and from work and walking my dog and I wanted something 'durable'
So I want to take the next step and have something to listen to music at home rather than using the same headphones all the time.
Why? hopefully to get a better sound [not that theres anything wrong with my tma1s], a more detailed sound, better depth?
So what I think I want is an amp? and some over ear headphones.
Like I said I'm a fairly recent lurker and have been looking at lots of headphone and amp reviews etc. and to be honest i'm more confused than ever.
Budget? hundreds not thousands
music. all sorts, electronic, rock, metal, indie.
Source. iphone4 [lossless, 320+ flac] this is another area i'm confused about, I dont have a big house and have got two young kids so space is a premium, my cd collection is currently boxed up and confined to as small an area as possible although recently i found myself not really using them much. I got a naff laptop which I never use and an ipad which the wife has constant need of. Is there anything wrong with using my phone as my main source?
anyways thats probably enough info for now or maybe not
if anyone wants to offer an opinion or give me some advice it would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
