Hello community,
My current pair of headphones, Beyerdynamic DT 990s, have finally broken after almost 6 years of constant use. I haven't been on Head-Fi in some time and I'm not sure what's new In the world of headphones, but I'm looking to upgrade. I listen to mostly rock, anything from piano-based, to nineties grunge, to alternative. Open headphones are a must, as I am a quadriplegic and need to hear the outside world without taking them off.
Unfortunately, I have the 32 ohm model with a HT | OMEGA CLARO Plus+ as my source. I'm sure this is far from an ideal source for higher impedance headphones. I was thinking perhaps of getting a affordable source first, buying the headphones, and then acquiring a higher quality source later. I apologize if this is not the appropriate forum for some of these questions. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thank you.
