Hey guys, I have been searching through this website and Headwize, but I can't seem to really figure out what I want to get. Basically, I have the Sony V6's right now, and they are GREAT... but now I want something even better
Here is the issue I am seeing right now though. Most of these reviews have to do with.. well, music I never ever listen to
My music listening is more metalish/hardrock than anything. Bands like System of a Down, Lifehouse, to slightly more "obscure" bands like: Boy Sets Fire, Queens of the Stone Age, Dredg, and Sparta. (Dang I love Sparta)...
But I also occasionally will listen to rap.. like 2Pac and Dr.Dre, and the occasional electronic trance/ambient cd (stuff like Crystal Method -Vegas, Tim Tetlow - Beauty Walks A Razor's Edge, and DJ Tiesto). I NEVER listen to stuff like classical, blues, jazz, etc. This almost seems to be a problem because that type of music seems to be more prominent in the "audiophile" community... but I love high quality sound quality as well!
Basically I am looking for a higher quality V6 I think, based on the types of music I listen to, but I am not 100% sure at this, I am no expert at this stuff, the V6 was my first headphone purchase after much review from these websites a year a go or so
. I have pretty sensitive ears when it comes to comfort, so from what I am reading, the Grado's don't seem like a very good choice for me. These headphones can be open or closed however, I will listen to these at home only. I don't really have much high quality equipment, and I doubt I will be purchasing a amplifier with it, unless I can get a decent one for pretty cheap. Of course I can always get the amplifier down the line, but it might not be right away. Price for the headphones themself are not too much of an issue, but I would say anything over 300-400 is too much. But I would like to hear all your recommendations, regardless
Based on this, could you please recommend some 'phones for me? I appologize for the length of my post, but I really wanted to try and give you as much information as I could on what I like to listen to and what I am looking for. Thanks a bunch guys, it is much appreciated
