New Head-Fier
Hi all! I recently acquired some Sennheiser HD800S and while they are nothing short of amazing to my ears on classical and jazz, they're not the most pleasing on bad recordings or metal/rock music... What would you consider as a nice alternative for when I want to listen to this type of music? If I want to have a similar level of sound quality, but in those genres (not expecting a headphone to make a bad recording sound good, but at least be at ease in these areas), what should I aim for? Empyrean, Vérité Closed? Something more along the lines of Fostex, Campfire Cascade, LCD-X or LCD-3? Or would I be better to just upgrade to something like Susvara or AB-1266 and sell the HD800S, to then get trapped in upstream gear upgrade mania and pretend I'm a victim ? It can be other suggestions as well, but those were the ones that came to my mind.
