Hello everyone,
I finally decided that, it's time to upgrade from being a counterfeit earbuds peasant, retailing for less than 10 USD, and taking me more than a week to get used to. I have a budget of ~170 USD, but unfortunately and I live in neither USA nor EU, which means I have to pay double the taxes. So I put together a list of available headphones that you might have recommended.
I plan to use them mostly indoors, I have no intention to monitoring sound or DJ`ing, just casual listening, gaming, and a reason to keep the FLAC version of songs.
I'm thinking about a model that is closed-back, over-ear with no amps requirement (Wouldn't the 3.5mm jack be a bottleneck ?) and slight noise cancellation.
I've noticed that some people like them flat others bassy, as I always find myself tweaking the EQ setting to favor bass. Will a software EQ be enough for me if I went with flat ones instead ?
Without any further ado, here's the list, I'm currently thinking about getting the ATH-M40x. I can increase the budget if you convince me.
- Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 80 Ohms (~173 USD)
- Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro (~180 USD)
- Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 250 Ohms (~178 USD)
- Sony MDR7506 (~131 USD)
- Audio-Technica ATH-M30x (~79 USD)
- Audio-Technica ATH-M40x (~133 USD)
- Audio-Technica ATH-M50x (~191 USD)
and some AKG
I'm still not familiar with audio terms, take it easy on me.
Thanks for your time.
