Hey, my name is Uri, im new here
i had lots of time to read over the forums, so here is the case:
Im looking for new headphones.
my budget is around 100$ or a bit less if i need to buy an amp (the cheapes there is, FIIO E5 or whatever people here will advice)
My sorce is an ipod nano, im listening mostly while being on buses or other noisy aniroment. i dont care for sound licking inside or outside as long as i can hear propelry but i do care for esthetics.
I am listning mostly to metal and rock (Lamb of god, Pantera, Pink floyd, Led zeppelin etc) and a littlebit of jazz (billy chobam and drummers) but im not a basshead. untill now i had an akg k412 which i realy liked, then an akg k414 that wasnt so good for me (i think that its because they are closed) and then again an akg k412 with the 414 pads (and EQ of treble reducer, made it sound realy good). also had a several months with akg k240 but couldnt use them with the ipod since he cant boost them without amp.
I never used a good closed heaphones but the trial with the 414 made me belive i prefer open headphones, and the fact that while listening on buses id like to be able to hear what goung on around makes me prefer the open ones although if there is something realy good i dont mind trying.
I heard about several models:
ATH AD700 - i read awsome reviews about thes model, but also heard that they are a bit too huge (the AKG K240 WAS a bit to big for ourdoors, so i hope this one is smaller) and that they are better for jazz and rock and not for metal and rock. - 85$
BD DT440 - would they be good without an amp? and i heard about some cracks in the bridge or whatever the name of the top part.. also i had the impression that they are in a lower leage then the grados and the ATH. - 85$
GRADO 60\80 -although everywhere its writen that its great for rock they looks to me so fragile and uncomterble, and since i need them for outdoors and long drives (up to 6 houres)
i dnt think they are good for me.
AKG K450 - havnt red anything about those, but they are closed, and i think they are in a lower leage then the others here.
Im open to any other suggestions, thats what i managed to understand from couple of days reading. also, if its not for a very special model, ill prefer to do not use Senn's.
I hope this is all the connected info, ill be greatfull for any advice..
it was really cool to see how many people here are eager to help and how much info there is in these forums, in a week i learnd more then i did in years on other forums =)
thank you very much, and sorry for all those quiestions.
P.S. sorry for all the writing mistakes, english is not my maithers lang.
