New Head-Fier
So I didn't get to Guitar Center...and did pick up a set of the AKGs. They were used so didn't spend too much time on burning in. I have to say on the plus side, they are pretty light and comfortable. However, the sound is SO flat that it seems to be lacking any real dynamism - in other words, pretty boring. The vocals and midsection seem really blase. But worse, how can anyone stand that buzz in the background?? Even when you can't hear it, aren't you aware of it? Doesn't it just...gnaw at you? So if that's a fact of life with ANC, I probably need to put more emphasis on noise isolation, vice cancellation.
I'm willing to stretch the budget. If I'm going to make the leap, I want more power and dynamism - I want to really feel an upgrade between what I have now (a set of Sonys that I picked up in an emergency at the airport), and what I get, given the extra cost. Will look at a couple recommended here. Onward and upward!
