Hey guys, I've had a few mid-end portable headphones (Senn HD25/Amperiors, Audio Tech M50s, Grado 325is, etc) for quite a while now, and although they sound very different compared to each other, I can't really notice any significant difference in terms of sound quality. I mean is that if I am to pick one over the other, I can't really choose/have a clear winner (though my fav setup is iPod/J3 -> Fiio E11 -> HD25/Amperior). In my ears, they all sound great and pretty much at the same level.
So I think it's time to take it to the next level but I want to be really sure if I have to, so I need your help in answering these questions.
Now, if I do upgrade:
What will I get?
Will the high-end cans blow these out of the water? I mean do I get the same feeling the first time I upgraded to M50 from some generic in ear hps/stock Apple Earbuds? (You know, like the first time you put it on, you immediately trash the old HP) Can I get a good setup around 1.5k-2k USD?
Summary: I'm not picky as to the sound signature of the headphone, as long as it's not on the extreme side, like incredibly peaky treble or bloated bass, what I want is that convincing feeling that "this HP clearly beats this HP" OVERALL. Is there such a setup in my case?
(and bear with me, use simple words please, I'm not particularly good in describing/understanding sound)
Thanks!
EDIT: I listen to pretty much every genre of music, from rock and R&B to classical and acoustic
