Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some in ears and / or some over the ear headphones. I will be listening for fun and non critically on my commute and at work, but may also consider another pair to listen more critically when I am not busy.
In the past I have used the klipsch x10, sennheiser ie8 and carbon basso's until they broke. I like bass with a powerful, but controlled rumble and listen to mostly hip hop, rnb, I also listen to some pop, classical, rock and a variety of music.
I'm willing to purchase two separate headphones, one for my commute (Can sacrifice some detail for more powerful bass) and another for the more critical listening (still with good bass, but preserving the finer details)
I was considering shelling out for the sony 1000xm3 as my commute headphones and then getting something like the beyerdynamics dt990 for the critical listening at home based on the rtings website recommendations and my budget. Even those two headphones are pushing my budget when combined. I would have stuck with the carbo bassos, but they are not very durable so were a poor choice for commuting and regular use.
After they broke I went to the sennheiser store and tried a bunch of stuff ranging from the HD 800 and 820 to the ie 800 and their Bluetooth headphones. I really liked the HD 800 range sound, but can't afford it right now. The sony x1000Xm3 sounds good, but not hugely detailed in my short time listening to it.
If any one has any recommendations, I would be happy to hear them.
