Hi everyone
I'm new here, but I've been reading a lot of the posts and there are alot of people with a lot of great information to provide. This site is amazing!
My brother recently made me a mini^3 and and a gamma1 and lent me a pair of Grado SR125s. Before I was using AKG k27i and I had no idea what I was missing Now after hearing what the Grados can do, I want to upgrade my closed cans to something better.
I'm looking for suggestions/information on what headphones would be best for me. I'll be mainly listening to my iPod or laptop, but using the mini^3 amp (and the DAC if required). I listen to all types of music, but the type of music I listen to most are:
Rock: The Decemberists, Muse, Foo Fighters, Wintersleep, Hawksley Workman, Radiohead etc
Folk Rock: The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, Josh Ritter, Iron and Wine, etc
Other bands: Bedouin Soundclash, Postal Service, Ben Harper, etc
I've gone into the store to try out:
Ultrasone HFI 780
Shure SRH840
Audio Technica ATH-M50
I liked all 3 and couldn't decide with one was better....but that might be a case of my newbie ears. Anyone have thoughts on which of these would suit my music tastes best? Or have any other suggestions?
Oh I should also mention I'm thinking about spending around $200 but could go up to $300.
Thanks
