I have a few questions:
1. I want to take my headphones everywhere with me. I plan to use them with my Galaxy S4. From the research I did, I could not find out if I will be getting the most out of my headphones if I will be using them for my phone. I took a look at the audiophile's choice list at headphone.com as well as some amps. I guess what I am trying to ask is: if I buy a Sennheiser HD800 and get a very good amp(I heard Pico(sp?) was the best) will it be a worthwhile investment in comparison to me buying a cheaper headphone? Yes, these top 10s are desired to be stationary, but it is not impossible for portable use, right? For example: Sennheiser HD800 > 1/4-to-1/8 > Pico > Galaxy S4? Wouldn't that work? [Please do not drown me in terms, I only know what low, mid, and high means]
2. What should be my first pair? I prefer the best of the best of the best. Top 0.01% if that is possible. As well as the best portable amp. I do not have a budget, I have a few grand to spend leisurely, so do not be afraid to get expensive with me. I was looking at the Sennheiser HD800 or HD598, the Fostex TH-900, the Audeze LCD-3, the Denon AH-D7100, and the new AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition.
3. I see two different headphones of the same model, why? One is the default name and the other says it is the balanced version and is much more expensive. What does that mean and why does it make such a difference in cost?
About me:
DUBSTEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... And everything else that is good music. I listen to everything, to be honest... Rap, Metal, Trance, literally everything except Country, Classical, etc... Any headphones that will play any and all music genres perfect?
