Hi,
I tried posting this in the main headphone thread but got no replies so I thought I'd give it a shot here.
I trying to decide on a closed-back headphone for my Audio Gd Compass Dac/Amp.
I use flac files via foobar or CD optical as a source.
I currently have a pair of sennheiser HD 650's but i need a quality pair of closed back headphones for late night listening.
My budget is around 500 USD or €500 approx.
I have no interest in In-Ear headphones as i already have a pair of Ultimate Ears headphones which i don't find comfortable and are a hassle to take in/out.
Here's what I'm thinking of:
Denon AH-D5000 £399.99
Denon AH-D2000 £199.99
Shure SRH840 £119.99
Audio Technica ATH-A900 £199.99
Audio Technica W1000 £500
AKG K272 HD £124.99
This is just a selection of what I've seen on various websites that I've came across.
I listen to all sorts of music from folk, acoustic, dance, piano,rock etc...
Artists such as ES poshumus, robert plant, crystal method, yann tiersen, editors, feist, juno reactor, muse, portishead, she wants revenge, thievery corporation, UNKLE & Einaudi
I want cans that won't fell like a step-down from when i have to switch from my sennhesiers.
Any ideas would be much appreciated I've probably forgot a few obvious headphones in my list so feel free to suggest anything that would suit.
Impedance/portability is not an issue as i won't be using these for portable or un-amped use.
Any ideas? I quiet like the 650's if that's any help, maybe a tad more bass
Thanks for any replies and sorry for posting thiis in the compass thread, it's just that i need my headphone fix!
