Oh, first post and first thread here so please be gentle I hope .
First headphone was some really cheap Logitechs which I don't even have anymore, gave it to a friend.
Then I got the Sennheiser HD518 which was a huge upgrade but after using it for about a year I wanted more..
A friend of mine then bought the AKG K550 and I remember that I was blown away by it when I heard it and immediately wanted to seek something that was along the same line of that sound (didn't want the same pair felt weird for me lol) or perhaps better.
Eventually came across this review http://www.head-fi.org/products/akg-k-550/reviews/8432 so I then ventured into looking up about ath-a900
I still have no idea if I prefer an open or closed headphone more, but after reading it seems a lot says that open usually sounds better than closed so and I generally want that better sound so I guess I'm looking for open headphones... (I guess)
After a week of looking through many threads and reviews (mostly in head-fi.org) it seems I have settled on these three headphones the HE-400, ATH-AD1000(X) and ATH-AD2000
The reasoning behind this is because I am not looking forward to get an amp yet maybe in the future, also note I'm stuck with the ATH-AD2000 and not the X series (ATH-ad2000x), mainly because if I recall I read somewhere where the ATH-AD2000 was better than the ATH-AD2000x. Also I can not seem to find a direct comparison between any combination of these two, or all three of these headphones on the net (actually maybe there is a comparison between the ad1000x and ad2000 but I'm really interested in a comparison with the HE-400).
TL;DR Need help choosing between HE-400, ATH-AD1000x and ATH-AD2000
thank you for reading =D
