So i listen to all genres, have cold portable source, and warmer sounding laptop, and a neutral pc soundcard. I want comfort, the least sound leakage i can get while being open, a good all rounder, with bass, but good highs. Er6i's are not quite bassy enough, and cold, even out of my warm source, my new laptop. CX300's however were far too bassy, muddy and horrible, so i came to head-fi.
Whats best?
I have been reccommended Sr60's, although i am worried about sound leakage, discomfort, fatuiging sound that i have read about. I think the AD500's would be good for me however cannot find much info on them, so i could stretch to used AD700's. So AD700 or 500 or SR60, whats best for me?
Please set your post out like this, and answer as many of my questions as possible please! Questions:
1.Whats best?
2.Whats most comfortable?
3.How do the AD500's sound (sound sig)
4.How do the AD700's sound (sound sig)
5.How do the SR60's sound (Sound sig)
6.Is it worth trying to find AD500's or spending the extra bit to get 700's of which would sell better if i didnt like them?
7.Which leaks more?
8.Any other suggestions?
I dont really know my budget yet, however i currently have $85 and when my complimentary livewires come i plan to sell my ER6i's and CX300's to fund a DIY amp kit, with everything but a soldering iron and solder. So up to $100 max for the headphones, although lower is better.
I want:
warmish,
fun sounding,
with bass (not muddy, doesnt have to be strong -eg DT style)
good highs,
and detail, (like er6i's, but with a fun sound, and a bit of warmth, and slighltly more bass.)
comfortable,
least leakage in and out, but open.
Answer my questions above, and give any suggestions if you can, please....
Thanks in advance,
Matt
