Hi,
I've currently got a pair of Sennheiser HD570s and I want to get another set of headphones. My budget is around US$100.
A friend of mine has a pair of HD600s. These phones are certainly alot better than the 570s but i don't particularly like the sound. To me, the sound seems as if it has been "polished" in a way, possibly a bit too "smooth". I found it quite hard to find a recording which sounded bad on these headphones, everything just sounded too good to be real.. to put it another way, they don't seem to reveal much of the defects in equipment.
Sorry to dwell on the 600s but they are the only other high end phones i've heard extensively, plus I thought it would be useful for any suggestions.
So, can anyone recommend me some phones that will sound excellent for classical music and be able to reveal differences in interconnects/equipment easily?
thanks,
John
