Hi I'm new here.
I'm also new for Hi-Fi audio. I've been lurking head-fi.org for some time. I'm not familiar with most tech-stuff so that's why I thought I should register and ask for some help from you pros...
I'm looking for on-ear headphones for travelling, cycling (road bikes, bmx), and for work (for lunchbreaks only basically, I work with milling machines and lathes, lots of noise).
I didn't want to bother you at first but it's hard to find some proper help from those bike-forums I have joined in. Either they say in-ear, or bose, or skullcandy. I don't know much about SC but by judging how they look and how they keep marketing them by showing who "famous" sportsman wears them and so on you should too, did not impress me much.
So yeah, here I am...
The music I listen is mostly metal.
I don't need noise cancelling.
Open headphones are on top of my list but if you know good closed ones, please tell!
I've had Koss PortaPro's before and I absolutely did hate them. They were very bass heavy and basically that was it, no mids, nothing.
I have AKG K 601's for home use and I really like how they sound and they're really comfy to wear on.
They're unfinished though, no amps yet or anything. I need to learn about them more.
I have used 'Search', so far I've understood ATH-ES7's are good?
How about AKG K 450? I know they're not quite battling in the same league with ES7 but I'd like to hear some opinions still...
Thanks and excuse my english. I'd so appreciate if someone would sort me out.
