I am happy with my choice of the Pendulumic Tach T1.
Which headphone would you recommend for someone who prefers an energetic, aggressive sound ?
I think the JBL Synchros S400BT may be what you want.Hey, thanks for the reply !
I prefer a bright sound for genres like Metal/Rock but i'd still like them to have enough bass for Rap/DnB. I prefer a punchy bass and On or Over ear would both do, although On ear might be handier while working out.
I think the JBL Synchros S400BT may be what you want.
They are nicely V-Shaped, with bright highs, a powerful bass which has both a good punch and good rumble, and a nice biting aggressive direct sound.
Alternatively the Audio Technica ATH-WS99BT with stock pads, a wonderful dry punch, very transparent, can be both aggressive or gentle. They are freshly warm, so, not really warm, not exactly bright, but also less danger of harshness than a very bright can.
You can also buy the HM5 angled leatherette pads and put them on when you want a more resonant bass or a rounder smoother sound with more soundstage.
The V-Moda Crossfade Wireless are also nice specially if you have an iPhone, even more if the 6.
They sound apparently better with AAC codec.
They're not really bright, a bit dark actually, but have a nice attacking sound with a powerful bass.
I prefer to them the Parrot Zik 2 and 3, another HP which needs AAC to shine but sounds good enough on android too.
The 2 would be better for you, they're brighter. They have a very good ANC, only one of these 4 with ANC, so maybe just what you want. They are a small over ear.
Then, of course, the wonderful Sennheiser Momentum On Ear, also with a good ANC, and they are also a bit V-Shaped and with a very good punch. But they don't get particularly loud, not as the other above. And are not as bright as Synchros or Zik2.
Lastly, the JBL Everest Elite 300. I didn't try them, but I've tried the normal Everest 300, without ANC. They are relatively bright and have a nice punch, although not a very powerful one.
I just don't know about the Elite, because I've A/Bed the Everest 700 and Everest Elite 700, and they are different. Not much. But enough for me (perfectionist).
The Elite is a bit smoother, the normal is more transparent and brighter and with more attack.
So, maybe the Elite 300 are also smooth, no idea.
I think you've got enough to investigate now
It looks like the Fidelio M2BT have really come down in price. Can Giogio confirm that these are in fact the ones he uses and recommends: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-M2BTBK-27-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0163ZHROM?ie=UTF8&keywords=Fidelio%20M2BT&qid=1462585810&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2
At that price, I feel I should at least give them a try.
