Hello,
I'm new to this forum, I don't have much experience with headphones, and would like some educated advice, if possible. I've only pretty much had a pair of Sennheiser Momentums (first edition) and they were pretty good but they crapped out on me. So, I've decided to spend a bit more money, if need be, and upgrade from them because, while I did like the way they sounded, I'm sure there are better options out there.
After researching for a while, I decided to buy the Fostex TH-X00 Purpleheart and I was kinda disappointed. They're just not what I was expecting. After reading, reviews, I was expecting to be blown away but I really wasn't, especially for that price. Maybe I don't like the sound signature and prefer Sennheisers? I'm not sure.
Anyway, so I would like to see if I could get any advice on what I should try next. Going off my research, I was looking at maybe trying the Audeze LCD-2 Closed-back, the Ultrasone Pro 900i, or maybe something from BeyerDynamic. Or maybe I should just stick with Sennheiser, since I like the Momentums. I'm not sure. So, if anyone could provide any insight on what would be my best bet, I'd really appreciate it.
As for my preferences, I did like the Sennheiser Momentums (but, again, I don't have much experience with headphones), so I guess I like that sound signature. I listen to mostly progressive house, techno, deep house, and tech house. I would like a pair of headphones where I feel immersed in the music and just get lost in it. I'm not sure if that'll help. I'm looking to spend anywhere from $150 to $800. Also, I have Schitt Magni 3+ amp.
Thank you, in advance, for any help. Let me know if I can provide any other details.
