Note: I also posted this in the "Buying headphones?" thread but I got no replies so, I'm attempting a new thread. Sorry if this is not allowed.
Hi there. I'm looking to improve my personal hearing equipment. I have read a lot of the threads around this forum but, I would like direct feedback and opinions.
Music taste: Mostly Electro/Progressive/House/Trance (Deadmau5, Tiesto, AvB, Afrojack, etc...), Dubstep, Drum 'N Bass (Dieselboy), Hip-Hop/Rap/R&B (Rej3ctz, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, The Dream), and the ocassional Pop/Rock/Latin (Adele, Christina Perri, etc...).
Current equipment: Bose On-Ear (the ones I currently use at home), and Bose Mobile In-Ear 2i headset (which I use while I'm outside my apartment, unrelated to this post).
Price range: No fixed price range but the best bang for the buck. Say... $200~$400.
Amp: Yes. I currently own a FiiO E5 that works really well and while I was looking for something a bit better, I decided to purchase the PA2V2. Still on transit.
Audio source: Intel DX58SO Integrated HD Audio (Realtek-based), Apple iPad 2 (using FiiO L3 Line-Out Dock), HTC EVO 4G.
Track quality: Most of my music is >256 kbps MP3, 256 kbps AAC, and Apple Lossless (mostly converted from FLAC, some of them ripped from original CDs). I'm trying to replace most of my current MP3 tracks to >256 kbps AAC and Apple Lossless. I only use iTunes for my music listening.
Mobility: Not needed. I plan to use these >98% at home.
I would like headphone as well as amp recommendations. I've seen good feedback about the Sony MDR-XB1000 (not yet released in the US) being better than the Bose OE on the bass frequencies, but you guys know more than I do. Thank you for your replies.
