Hiya,
I currently have a pair of Alessandro MS1s, and I like them a lot, but am looking for an upgrade.
What I want:
- Closed with good isolation (going to be using them on public transit and in class)
- More bass (I love bass, and my MS1s aren't cutting it for electronica and some bassier songs in other genres), but I don't want bloated/muddy bass like one gets from Beats.
- Comfortable, I'm gonna be wearing these for long periods of time
- Clearer/more detailed, it's hard to pick out details sometimes with my MS1s which makes it hard to make out/learn the strumming pattern and such of some/many faster songs.
- Better soundstage
- ~$200 CAD (I can go up to $300-$350 if they don't require an amp, but I'm gonna be getting an iBasso T3 if they do, unless there's a better amp around that price that's portable and usable while being charged)
I'm more or less looking for a closed version of the MS1s with more bass and a clearer sound. My home source is my PC with an Asus Xonar DG -> iBasso T3 (if I get it), portable will be a 2nd gen iPod Touch -> LOD -> iBasso T3
I listen mainly to rock and metal, some electronica and a little bit of other genres.
Headphones I'm currently considering: Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80Ω, Shure SRH840, Audio Technica ATH-M50
Thanks for reading!
