Hey Guys!, so I've actually been around Head-Fi, reading around and reading reviews for years, entertaining/looking/researching and what not. And pulled the trigger on the ATH-M50S about a year and a half ago. I've loved these cans for awhile now, but i feel like i could probably find something possibly better. The issue i'm having is i have NOTHING to base this assumption on. I have no idea what is better, but maybe you guys can paint a better picture for me if i give you my choice of music.
My wants
i know price doesnt say everything about a product, but i really don't want to pay less than $150 like i did on my Audio Technica's. And i don't want something that's old, and has been around forever (unless its godly); looking for something relatively new and modern looking. and i'm willing to pay max $400 for a nice pair of cans. I've actually been looking at either the AKG Q 701, or the HD 598, or even the HD 580's, but would rather get something that looks a lot like the AKG 701's or HD700's (the HD700 being totally out of my budget)
What say you fellow head-fi'ers?
- I Primarily listen to J-Pop, Electro/Dance/House/Techno. Specifically; Perfume, Capsule, Ami Suzuki, Deadmau5
- My Second choice of music is Alternative, Rock, R&B. Specifically; Angela Aki, Utada Hikaru, Maroon 5, Micheal Buble
- Sparingly ill listen to Classical and Bossa Nova.
My wants
- Natural sounding for Soundstage sensitive tracks
- Able to handle some hard dance/techno with little to no distortion
- Comfort!!!!
- Build quality/design
- cans that don't require amps, but are optional (i may make an exception to this if the cans in question are REALLY good sounding with an amp)
