OK, so it's been over a month and this is what transpired. I purchased a Hifi-Man HE1000 Stealth. I realize they're open back, and I was looking for closed back, but WTH the price was great ($1,399) and the many reviews I read were very positive. Well I'm blown away. l love them! The bass is excellent and the open back gives a very pleasurable open sound. I find myself playing them sometimes when it's not necessary to use headphones. The things I'm hearing on songs that I've never picked up on before is uncanny. So thanks for all who wrote in, I did do a lot of reading and research and I appreciate all who helped out.
Please Help Weed Them Out
Hello All, I'm interested in a set of headphones to plug into my Benchmark HPA-4 pre-amp with headphone amp. My needs are as follows:
Over the ear closed back with good isolation
"V" shaped sound signature as my past headphones Senheiser HD600 had almost no bass to speak of. Music taste mostly soft rock and jazz
3.5mm TS connectors so I can use a 15 foot Balanced cable I already have.
Now for the kicker... my budget is $100 to $300 I have seen some (Hifiman), but I don't know if they have good bass, or if they're like the Senheiser 600's
Please any suggestions to start me on the right path will be helpful.
