Hey all,
Just poking around for a few suggestions for potentially open headphones for desktop use that would be a step up from
my hastily modded T50rps I've had for a few years. The internals are a bit messy, but still enjoy how they sound, they're
very smooth and with the lamb leather pads are very comfortable.
I guess what I'm looking for, really, is something more comfortable than the SR225e, as well as less fatiguing, but still
have a lot of detail retrieval and separation? Just don't like how much the treble seems to overtake everything else.
I'll probably still keep the grados, for some songs they are fantastic, just so very uncomfortable....
Currently considering the Fidelio X2, which seem to be pretty well hyped even compared to the HD600/650, or something like the hifiman He-400.
The chain I have right now is optical out from the Titanium HD to the Modi/Magni 2 Uber stack, as I also use this setup for gaming.
I would probably be looking into the actual purchase within a month or so, with the goal of about a $300 budget.
Some listening examples: Decemberists, Modest Mouse, Radiohead, Beck, Coldplay, The National, Airborne Toxic Event, Royal Blood, Cake....
Kind of a mixed bag I suppose.
