Hi Everyone,
My name is Jonathan and I was told this is the place to go to consolt on Buying a specific set of headphones.
I want a pair which are good for listening to Old Recordings of Classical Music.
 
I currently Have the Grado SR225, and Like them a lot. Since I have them for a long time and they are quite worn out, I was thinking of buying a ney pair of headphones.
 
So what are the best ones to get specificly for Classical music, and even more specificaly for old recording (40s-60s eusaly)?
 
Thanks a lot,
Jonathan

Heya,
 
I would say safely, the following, depending on budget:
 
Sennheiser HD650
Sennheiser HD600
Beyer DT880
Hifiman HE-300
Hifiman HE-400
AudioTechnica AD900
 
For really old recordings, I would probably go HD650 primarily.
 
Very best,

I wouldn't give an AD700 to someone who likes to listen to music.
 
Very best,

thanks,
 
A question: I read on a Different thread that the [size=medium][size=small]Sennheiser [/size][size=medium]HD 800[/size][/size], While being great for classical music in general, are not good for Old recordings because they are not Versatile. What Does that mean, for Headphones to be versatile?
