Hi Guys,
While accompanying my brother on the search for Beats by Dr Dre., i grew more interested in headphones than ever. After doing much research, my interest in headphones started to grow and despite telling my brother not to get the Beats headphones, he still insists as he really likes the look of it even though the Denon D1100 that we tried sounds nicer and is cheaper than the Beats.
After listening to the Denons, i realized that i'm also very interested in headphones and am now looking to purchase my very first headphones.
For some background information, i like listening to soothing music (mostly acoustic and bossa nova). I would mostly be listening through my iPhone, iPad or MacBook Pro. I do not want the extra burden of an amplifier. Therefore, hoping to get a headphone which can perform best without an amplifer.
I am currently between choices of the AudioTechnica ESW-9, Denon D1100 and Sennheiser 555 or 595.
I was told that being a newbie, we should take it a step slower and buy cheaper headphones to let our ears get used to the kind of sound quality.
However, I'm hoping to purchase something that I do not need to upgrade for quite some time.
Therefore, I hope you guys here can recommend me something or maybe help me decide on which would suit me best as I do not have much clue about headphones.
Thank you
Nycky
