So i have two pairs of headphones, ATH-M50x and HD598. I know this may sound noobish but i prefer the M50x over the HD598 even though i can feel and hear more clearly and better overall instruments in the HD598.
My music choice changes in different times of years, some times i listen to music that has lots of beats/bass and some times old songs from ABBA and George Michael which sound amazing on HD 598.
I am using Fiio e10k and so far i don't hate my setup. As i said i use mostly M50x since i just love the bass and love to crank the volume to max. HD598 just miss that so they stay inside the case for most part of it.
Now i would like to know what i can buy for my next pair? Lets say i want it to be clear and amazing like the HD598 but with that extra bass like the M50x. I am willing to go lets say $500-$600 and also $300 for a new full amp/dac.
I looked some amps like Valhalla 2 with Modi but i think that will kill my entier budget since Valhalla 2 it self is $300+. So all in all lets say my max budget for Christmas is $1000 for headphones and amp/dac, whats the ideal combo i can get?
I did look up HD600, 800 and some others but i would have no clue how they would sound like from bass perspective e.t.c. Also im guessing i would prefer closed instead of open back? I know M50x are closed and maybe the bass is more cause of it? I wont be picky if they are closed/open since i will be using them at home.
Thanks.
