So I'm on the prowl for another headphone! What can you guys bring my attention to?
I've been through a crapload of headphones so far. These are ones I have passionate dislikes for:
- Sony MDR-V6, Headphile Darth Beyer CD3000, MDR-SA5000
These are ones that have just never grabbed me:
- AKG K501, K81DJ
- Audio-Technica A900, OR7, FC7
- Beyer DT770, DT250-80
- Senn HD650, HD600, HD595
These I've liked for one reason or another but ended up tossing because they ceased to pass muster as my ears got better and I acquired my taste:
- AKG K401, K271S
- Audio-Technica ES5 (still evaluating the ES7 btw, not sure what to think of it yet)
- Beyer 2006 DT880
- Grado SR225
I have four criteria that must absolutely be met: (1) it has to be single-ended & dynamic, (2) it has to cost less than $500, (3) the impedance rating has to be 120 Ohms or more, and (4) it has to offer something different than both the K701 and AD2000!
