Hi everyone!
I'm really happy to be here, from all the forums I found this one to be the most friendly and well informed
I always dreamed with 5.1 headphones, now I have the change of getting a good set of headphones and a DH amp. I had done some really extensive research and found that the Ear Force Dss is something that I want to try for sure. Dolby Headphones seems to do the work and I’m sold with it!
The hard (this it's really driving me crazy) part it's choosing the best matching headphones for it.
After endless search for my first decent headphones (under US$60) I nailed the options down to 2 definitive candidates: HARX900 or HARX700 but reading about them in many forums really messed my head
I just have one shot with this for the near future (third world country constrains) so I’m trying really hard to make a good educated decision. As I won’t be able to return or resale them here in Dominican Republic (for a fair price at least).
I just want to pick the one that works best of the two with the Ear Force Dss... but things get really fuzzy the more I read!
Here comes the most terrifying paradox:
Some say that for the Ear Force to work its best, the cans need to be closed with little sound stage because that’s improves the Dolby headphones surround emulation. (HARX700)
Others claim the opposite by saying that it’s best to have an open can and a large sound stage (HARX900 are semi open and supposedly have a larger sound stage)
I’m more inclined to the HARX900 but the main attraction for me is the surround emulation, that really worries me as each explanation made by those guys sounded true and made sense.
Honestly I can’t truly choose because of this… can anyone please bring some light onto this?
Thank you so much!
