I heard a pr of B&W P-9 cans , sound like speakers in a room not in your head .
Headphones for ~$1k
Hi All,
I'm looking for 2-3 strong recommendations for a pair of over ear headphones. I have about 4 different ways in which I will power them:
1. 300 B SET headphone amp (handbuilt by yours truly with splendid components)--~8watts
2. Primaluna Dialogue HP Premium Integrated
3. EL 34 SET amp
4. Creek Evo 100A integrated
I borrowed a pair of Sennheiser HD 800s from a friend and they sounded great but a touch too analytical for my tastes. I could easily live with them though. They were amazing.
I was thinking
Oppo PM-1
Beyerdynamic Telsa T1
Focal Elear
I listen to all sorts of stuff but here's a breakdown
50% vintage jazz (50s-70s)
20% modern vocal, jazz folk
20% rock/pop
10% classical
I like tube amps, awesome midrange, and equipment that is closer to fatigue-free--if that helps.
Any insights are appreciated.
