I am selling my SONY cd-3000s because i dont use an amp and they just didnt sound too powerful or punchy (poor bass)
with my MP3 player. But i loved the sweet sony sound.
I want to replace them with a pair of headphones or IEMs. To mostly use it with a MP3 player but occasionally with
a full desktop CD player or portable CD player (remember those?).
As a referece, im using B&O A8's..which are pretty good but have very limited bass. I also use SONY v900 which are muddy and thick sounding to me.
I know i have to audition some (not such an easy task, as most stores dont have high end headphones out for listening, or if they do, they play store driven music, not allowing me to hook up my own).
I have read great reviews for rock/pop for HD595, HD600, SR325i, and SE530.
My budget is around $400
The idea of blocking out sound apeals to me (SE530) but isnt imperrative.
The big durable comfortable HD600s appeal to me also but are hard to drag to work every day, and may require an amp.
Just not sure how to procede..
Are the SE530s just as good as full sized phones?? If so then getting them is a no brainer.
Thanks.
