Hello, all. I primarily listen to EDM and enjoy clarity and bass. I also enjoy impact on kicks. I currently use a fii0 e11 amp via lod on my ipod classic for portable, and I run out of a titanium hd soundcard on my desktop. I am hopefully going to eventually be purchasing the schiit magni/modi, yet that will probably be a while.
I have been using a pair of ath-m50's and krk rp6 monitors for listening, however, I've been looking for a good pair of headphones for when I move on campus in the fall. I have been recommended various ultrasones, the hfi-400, and the denon adh2000. I have not been able to demo any of them, and I am too afraid to pull the trigger on one of them on the off chance I'll be unsatisfied with the sound. I've also looked at the v-moda m-80's or m-100's, or possibly even the sennheiser momentums/amperiors. I heard the momentums and was very pleased except for the bass which I found to be lacking to my preferences.. However, I curiously demoed a pair of logitech ue6000's and loved them. The impact was eh, but everything else was balanced so well IMO. The bass was VERY present and fairly tight, with plenty of detail and sparkle in the treble. The mids were a bit recessed due to the V-shape sound signature, yet were much more refined and MUCH LESS recessed than the athm50's. I've been keeping my eyes on different pairs on ebay, yet I'm wondering if there are cheaper alternatives that sound essentially the same? Despite the fact that the whole UE headphone lineup has been pretty impressive, the Logitech part of it makes me skeptical of the price/performance aspect.
tl;dr I like the ue6000's but am afraid that there are cheaper cans that sound just as good. Thoughts on UE6000 or alternatives?
