New Head-Fier
Hi folks,
I've been following this forum for a while, but only now I got to actually make an account and join this awesome community.
As an aspiring audiophile I want to ask which of the Massdrop exclusive headphones do you think I should get for music consumption + computer use. I'm looking at headphones around 200$, since I'm just starting in this journey.
So far, Sennheiser HD6XX | Hifiman HE4XX | AKG K7XX have caught my eyes.
The genres I primarily listen are: Death/Metalcore/Symphonic/Power/Heavy/Melodeath Metal + some mellow rock music (Pink Floyd-like) + some electronic music (rarely) + hip-hop (rarely).
I would have gone straight for the HD6XX since everyone says they are great, but I heard that it might sound 'boring' for metal. Also, I don't think I can drive 300ohms from my Xonar DS sound card and I would like something that I can use right away, without a DAC/Amp, hence I started looking at other cups (HE4XX and K7XX).
Sorry in advance if I'm not asking the right questions or giving the right details.
Thanks!
