If you had nothing but your phone, how would you spend $1000 on building up your audio setup?
I’m currently in the process of learning everything I can about this hobby.
I’ve been talking to a few people and getting recommendations as well as reading reviews.
I keep going back and forth on a lot of things, but I think one thing I am saving towards is a pair of andromeda’s to use on my iPhone X. I did go ahead and purchase a used iematch, but haven’t really made any other purchases yet.
A friend told me I should look at what headphones I get first, then source, and then something else third... but I forget what that was. I’m still trying to figure out the first two.
At first I was thinking she 846’s and maybe a chord mojo.
Then I thought maybe an se535 with a dap like the dx200.
But now I’m thinking andromeda’s and possibly a chord mojo.
But I’ve also thought about everything else. From the astell & kern, shure kse series, cheaper campfire audios and an lg v30. Idk what to do anymore.
I’m also learning about what my sound signature is. I think it’s warm and smooth but I’m not quite sure.
I’m looking for portability and I’ve listened to 535’s, 846’s, and westone w60’s I think.
When I tried them, I only had them for a week at a time and felt like the shure 846’s were more enjoyable to listen to... but I couldn’t imagine having paid full retail for it. Same with the others.
Now that I’m looking to keep a pair for a while, I’m searching used and for a good pair that I can have for a while before wanting to upgrade.
Anyways, if you had to start with $1000, how would you spend it on building your setup?
