Hi everyone,
I’m going to buy new headphones for listening to mainly classical and jazz music at home. My budget is about 250-300 $ maximum. I did some research and came up with a selection of six headphones (please feel free to suggest any other cans).
Beyerdynamic DT880 or DT990
AKG Q701
HiFiMAN HE-300
Audio Technica AD900
Mr Speakers Mad Dog (Fostex T50RP mod.)
I will use them with my RoCoo P DAP (powerful enough to drive them all I think) and I don’t plan to buy an amp. I’d like the bass to be deep and not too punchy or aggressive, the midrange to sound sweet and the treble to sound accurate but not harsh or sibilant. I prefer musical and slightly warm sounding headphones over analytical ones.
Thank you for your advices.
