Hey guys! I have just recently entered the head-fi world, and have just acquired some brand spankin' new (already astroid-modded) Senn HD228's.
I really like these cans so far, but some things I don't really like is that on some tracks I notice the bass and mid-range lacking compared to the highs, and the fact that they aren't circumaural. I am now infected with what I believe is known as "upgrade-itis," and am already looking for a new toy. I thought that this would be a good time to get some new cans because I can ask for them for my birthday that is coming up. I have researched for countless hours, and out of the thousands of headphones out there I have come up four that I think are beneficial to my needs.
INFO
Genres I listen to are mostly rock,(Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, Bon Jovi, etc) and classical(Beethoven, Mozart John Sebastian Bach), some folk(Beirut?), and whatever else suits my mood.
I would like to not have to use an amp, but I've seen E6's for sale at around 25$, so It's not that big of a problem. The sources I use are my Ipod touvh 4g and my toshiba laptop.
Price range is about 80-130$, but keep in mind that I'm from Canada and everything here is more expensive, unless you can find an ebay seller who ships here.
Headphones I have in mind: Sony MDR-V6, Shure SRH840, ATH M-50 and Ultrasone 580. I know absoloutly nothing about the Ultrasone, but I have read a[size=x-small]n adequate amount on the other ones.[/size]
Any [size=small]Suggestions?[/size]
