Hi,
I'm brand spanking new on these forums and I will immediatly start annoying people with a question that probably has been asked before. (I searched the forums and didn't really find a proper anwser)
I'm basically looking for a set of (not too expensive, max €300) cans to mainly use for movies & tv (or games after I get myself a decent amp/dac). Hooray for thin walls and easily annoyed neighbors.
I'm currently using a Yamaha RX-V577 receiver and already own a set of EL-8 open back and Momentum 2.0 wireless (for my bi-weekly airplane trips). While I simply adore the EL-8's, I'd like something a bit more lush for movies. The momentums are fine for on the airplane etc but are a bit too uncomfortable to just kick back and enjoy a good movie.
Currently I'm a bit torn between the following sets:
- Fidelio's X2 (but here they cost €309 which I find really expensive)
- DT880 (or DT990) 600Ohm (worried about the treble, my ears can be a bit sensitive...)
- K7XX (it's back on Massdrop as we speak. Incuding shipping/customs it would come close to the €300 mark though)
I would love a set of Nighthawks but not at their current pricepoint, maybe if they drop below €400.
Anyone who can help me tip the scales (or provide a different alternative that is available in Belgium?)
