New Head-Fier
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here and I’m hoping I can get some great recommendations from more experienced and knowledgeable members
I’m looking for some great headphones to listen to at home, casually. Hoping to spend less than $1,000 USD on just the headphones but any fantastic headphone recommendations above this range that fit my needs are welcome. Also, they can be either closed or open back.
Here are my music/sound preferences (disclaimer: I’m sort of a newbie so I may be using audiophile terms wrong, so If I contradict myself or confuse you, please let me know and I’ll clarify).
I love listening to Rap/Hip-Hop, R&B, Latin, and some Pop. I don’t listen to Classical, Opera, or any heavily instrumental music.
Bass: Quality over Quantity (should have great sub-bass extension and refrain from being too boomy and muddy)
Mids: Clear vocals (I listen to more male vocals than female vocals)
Treble: Shouldn’t be too harsh or bright-sounding
Hard to drive, easy to drive, Balanced, unbalanced, doesn’t matter. I’ll figure out which Amp and DAC I’ll need later. Headphones are top priority at the moment
The headphones that really seem to fit my taste are the Massdrop/Fostex TR-x00 Ebony. Unfortunately, there are no longer available and seems that they will never be available again. So anything that comes close to matching or even exceeding the qualities of those headphones would be great recommendations
Please let me know if any further information would allow you to make a better recommendation
