Greetings from France !
I'm currently trying to find The headphones for around 500€. It would be plugged on a 100€ sound card (if necessary I can do 400 for the headphones and 200 for the card, I haven't bought the card yet, there is way too much choice..) and it would play CD's or FLACs.
I discovered HiFi with a Sennheiser HD595. I bought it one year ago and for the 160€ it costed I must say I really love it but...I'm getting tired of its lack of bass, it's a real pain sometimes.
I do not want bassy headphones like the Bose OE but if I had to choose between "bright" (according to your glossary
) and bassy headphones, I would definitely take the bassy one. I can really hardly stand the "personality" of my HD595 anymore.
I first thought about buying speakers+amplifier but I think I'll get a better sound quality for my budget if I buy headphones. So I looked but I'm just lost ! I'd like over-ear headphones and..thats' it ! That's my only criterion !
If I had to chose speakers I think I would take a Marantz PM5004:

and Mordaunt-Short Aviano 1:

Still with a new sound card.
Should I really go for headphones ?
If yes, do you have anything to suggest me ?
Thanks !
