Hello. Let me apologize first before i begin. You will have difficult time understanding my writing because i'm not good at English.
I'm looking for a good pair of closed can. Im using audio-technica a700 and it sounds ok but doesn't block out wind-noise very well.
so my current candidates are 7509 and dt660. Anyone had a chance to compare these two?
I need a can that
a) has good sound quality
b) blocks out outside noise well(thou not as good as canal phones in terms of isolation)
c) blocks out wind-noise well like k271 and hfi-650(a700 blocks out some amount of outside noises very well and is identical to a900 except sound and colour, but it doesn block out wind noise because wind gets inside the headphone through air ducts. I cant concentrate b/c of the wind noises.)
d) is comfortable to wear.
e) is portable of course because im gonna using them outside.
f) non px-200, canal phones, k271, dt770(too.. big!), dt250, hfi-650 and hd25.
g) covers whole ear (not like dt250)
h) can be driven without an amp. I have an amp but it ran out of batteries pretty quickly.
i*) has wide soundstage (im expecting too much thing on closed heaphone.)
A900 seems to be popular in this forum but I was not impressed by its sound when i once auditioned it. I felt a900 was better than a700 in most aspects except bass but walking down the street ignoring people looking at me is.... not easy
. I hope 7509 and dt660 are better than a900 in terms of SQ. ummm... anyway, my source for headphone is usually portable cd-player and i have a Dr Head amp (which is said to be slightly better than normal cmoy. it only goes for 5 hrs
my a700 sounds warmer amped with dr head) I mainly listen to pop and classics. ummm...
Are there other options?
edit: i did read a thread says 7509 sounds identical to v700! is that true? does 7509 sound that horrible? I'm really confused because there are huge different opinions on those 2. any comment?
