Hi there,
I'm currently looking for a pair of headphones for use with my iPhone, and possibly a Mini^3 amp in the future.
I've never actually owned any proper cans - just a few pairs of IEMs; the sennheiser cx300, UE SuperFi.4 and Klipsch Custom 3's. I have tried a friend's closed sennheiser headphones (don't remember which model, but they were closed), but didn't like the airy sound compared to IEMs.
I like reasonably punchy bass, but not overpowering. I listen to a reasonably large variety of different music such as Nine Inch Nails, Muse, LCD Soundsytem and the Prodigy. Most of my music is encoded in m4p lossless (i have the flac files, but the iphone doesn't support them).
I have been looking at the Grado SR80i, and the Alessandro MS-1 (which seem to be very similar, with the MS-1 being better), but I'm not so sure yet. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks heaps in advance!
