Hello everyone!
I saw the discounts on a retail website (Indian) and the prices seemed good. I very recently got a Sony MDR XB90EX for my jaunts outside the comfort of my home and when I feel like listening to bassy stuff. However I need a headphone for quiet listening, which need not be portable. I listen to Instrumentals, Soundtracks and sometimes Rock, Pop, Metal too. I prefer some bass. Is HD 518 OK for me?
Would a HD 429 suit me better? Would save a few bucks that way.
Also how would HD 429 and 518 compare to Sony MDR XB90EX? Can I expect huge improvemets in SQ? Or is Sony MDR XB90EX better than these two? If yes, I have to wait for some buy, save more and get a better pair.
Please help!
Wish you all a great 2014!
