hey guys,
ive been browsing headfi for, wow probably a year now. and guess wat? i havent shelled out a cent! well thats if u dont count the mylarone x3 i bought my gf (which i dont coz theyre not for my ears!). the truth is i dont listen to much music on headphones. i mostly cycle or drive so headphones arent really suitable. i also live in australia which makes it an expensive habit. but im just itching to buy a pair, coz they are just such pretty things and i wanna experience the difference of great sounding phones.
ill be going to hong kong and japan soon and i thought this would be the opportunity to start my account. im looking for something under $100. im not looking to spend my budget because of the limited use, but im open to it if the difference is mind blowing. so im looking for something with good bang for buck. i listen predominantly to jazz, eg lee morgan, keith jarrett, ella fitzgerald, pat metheny, a bit of every jazz genre.
ive considered three types: iem, noise cancelling and closed headphones. iem and noise cancelling seem to be cheaper online so im concentrating on closed headphones. im looking for sound obviously, comfort, build, looks and isolation.
stuff thatve interested me so far in my search are:
panasonic htx7
ath es7
denon d1000
any other recommendations? id be interested in something japanese and little heard of outside of japan. any pointers to where to get them would also be appreciated. thanks for listening to my long drawn story!
