Hey guys,
I have a pretty nice desktop setup currently, ADI-2 Dac FS, Liquid Platinum and HD650, I also own Denon D2000. I picked up a pair of airpod pro a couple months ago, and the more I use them the more I appreciate them. I very much enjoy their sound signature and often wonder if there are similar sounding, "higher end" headphones for desktop use. They sound quite different compared to the HD650 and D2K. I really enjoy their bass and clarity/top end without harshness. Im surprised how much detail and clarity, and strong bass attack/pop they have compared to my desktop options currently. I don't believe they are technically better headphones, I think I just really enjoy their curve/color.
I've never tried any Planar headphones and wonder if this will give me the type of bass response im enjoying so much with the airpods pro. I've been seriously impressed with them honestly, I just bought them for noise cancellation, which is a really important feature for me in their use scenario, but have been very pleased with them overall. So much so, that it gives me second thoughts on spending thousands of dollars on high end desktop hardware. I think I just need to try some new phones.
Im open to all types of phones, dynamic, planar and IEM. Primary use case will be desktop, but the ADI-2 does have an excellent IEM amp as well. I've never tried IEM's before, other then the airpod pro, if they fit that description.
