[size=medium]Hi everybody, I think that I have been bitten by the headphone bug. [/size]
[size=medium]A couple months ago I decided that it was time to get some full size cans and I picked up the Pioneer SE-M390 and was blown away by the sound. I could hear the loss in all my 196 kbps music and have spent the last 2 months re-ripping everything lossless. I then decided to get the Koss Portapros for mobile listening.[/size]
[size=medium]I’ve listened to everything form the 1972 Decca recording of Puccini’s Turandot, to DJ Doboy’s Special Summer Editions to current Billboard stuff and a lot in between these extremes. Everything has sounded pretty darn good on the Pioneers, and to a lesser degree, the Portapros. [/size]
[size=medium]But I’m looking for the next fix… I strongly suspect that there a few levels of “better” sound out there and want to explore this. I’m looking for bigger, richer sound with warmth, depth and an expansive sound stage… something that will raise the hairs on my neck when I listen to a quality orchestral recording.[/size]
[size=medium]What should I be looking at? [/size]
