Well I'm still looking for some good ELO headphones. I'm not interested in rock and roll oriented cans, so please no Grado suggestions. (Sound isolation is also a HUGE plus, but can be sacrificed) I'm currently looking into the Go-Vibe V5 or Supermini IV as my main/only amp. (portable and home use) I guess you could recommend amps that render good synergy with some of the listed headphones as long as it is within the <$200 range...
I'd like to have some good punch in the low end frequency range. Clarity concerning electric guitar, electric piano, violin/cello would be nice to have as well because ELO uses these instruments heavily in many of their songs. I love music with killer vocals as well. I basically need an all-around headphone that can do it all -well- for a good price. (go figure)
I can find all the listed headphones in or CLOSE TO my price roof. Which ever I end up purchasing, they'll be my first higher end set of 'phones. (upgrading from MDR-V700 Dj's
)
So far I'm looking into the:
ATH-W1000's (thin? will they sound good if i dint know any better?)
Beyerdynamic DT880/80's (semi open? sound isolation? hi-fi sound at all?)
AKG K701's (500 hours burn in?! ginormous?! analytical sound? needs good amp?)
Sennheiser HD650's (0% sound isolation? "veil"? needs good amp?)
Used Sony MDR-CD3000's (revealing of flaws? expensive for its benefits. worth the added cost?)
(Other suggestions are welcome)
Which do you think would be best suited for my listening tastes? Thanks ahead of time for any and all suggestions.
