Head-Fiers,
I have had my ESW9s for 5 months now and had really liked them; before I got my Sennheiser MX980 earbuds. The earbuds provide clear and analytical/ natural/ not coloured sound with much less warmth than the ATs.
I really love the ATs for their portability, good enough cable, comfort and the looks. But since HPs are all about sound and not the looks I need something that will suit my needs better.
I now prefer the Senns due o their neutrality and do not enjoy my ESW9s as much as I would like to.
My question is:
What do I do to get a more analytical/ neutral/ less coloured sound? I also want the soud to be full/ rich and detailed at least as good in these departments as the ATs..
Three routes I have thought about are:
1. Using EQ on my Walkman. Probably will never get what I really want.
2. Getting a portable amp that will make the ATs a bit less coloured and more analytical. If I decide to do that, what amp should I get? My budget is 200GBP
3. Get a different pair of headphones that I will like more. If I decide to go this route, what HP should I get instead of my ATs? Budget 200GBP and they need to be at least portable as ESW9s.I thought about Senn HD25 1-II maybe?
TIA all and I hope you can help me out here.
