Hi all, I am new to this forum, found tons of info about headphones here and Im enjoying reading it. I have both logitech z5500 and audioengine A5 speakers with creative xfi cards on htpc and main comp in a condo, I have no knowledge on describing sounds but I am enjoying the output on both of them, I can hear the difference but don't know how to describe in words.
After getting complained by neighbors about my loud volume (trust me its not loud, just medium high I think), I decided to go with headphones, I only own the Bose all around headphones before, and they sound great I think, but after I got the Shure SE530 I can hear the difference, and I like it more than the bose. Then I switched from the ipod to cowon d2 and was impressed about the sound quality. The reason I am giving my reference is because I hope someone can give me advice on which headphone I should purchase.
I am looking at the ATH-AD700 and the AKG 701 right now for home use, not sure which one I should get because Im not sure if the price worths the difference that I can hear. I have read the 701 needs amps, actually I just ordered the ibasso d2 for my laptop using the se530 for work, I guess I can use that on the 701 also if Im getting them?
And lastly I listen to pop, rock and hiphop.
Thanks for reading, and hope someone can help!
