I have tried a AKG K702 and Sennheiser HD600, both plugged into a Nuforce Icon HDP. Pretty extreme improvement over what i was used to, but I've decided after a long time that it's really not my style. I don't appreciate the soundstage and detail the way you audiophiles do, so I'm looking to downsize. Here are is what I'm looking for:
Balanced mids and bass, with mildly recessed treble. Accurate mids, and good punchiness to the bass. Good separation between mids and bass, but not too much detail. I don't want something that's going to expose flaws of 16-bit audio. Good sound isolation, and maybe "decent" soundstage. Something that will give me "intimate" audio, sounding like it's inside my head instead of in the room. All in all, a set with good consumer-level sound.
I'm looking between the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro, AKG K271 MKII, Shure SRH440, JVC HA-RX900, and even the Monoprice 8323. Any opinions on these, as well as any other ideas, is appreciated!
