I’ve seen these recommended quite a bit now, sometimes as the best deal in audio. For around $200, some say they can be a real taste of hifi listening.
Does anyone have experience with them and would agree? I’m actually looking for a new pair, hopefully the last for a while. So if these could be an affordable pair of “endgame” headphones that are great overall I would be very intrigued.
I’m looking to get a new set of headphones, and hopefully the last for a while. That being said, I’m looking at a budget of around $200.
Typically use would be at home, passive or critical listening. Genres are typically acoustic or rock.
Currently have FiiO FT1’s and Grado SR60x’s. I like them each individually, but I think new open backs are likely what I’m looking for?
I’m hoping for something relatively endgame, at least from the perspective of diminishing returns and not just constantly chasing more expensive equipment. I’d like to get a third set of cans that are just overall great that I can enjoy my music through.
I think overall I’m looking for detail and soundstage, and potentially something that “wows” me (which I didn’t really get from my grados or fiios).
Some sets that I’ve researched that maybe fit this criteria are Sennheiser HD6XX orHifiman Sundaras?
Related, I’m looking at potentially getting a Fiio btr5 or btr15 to boost the sets I have and potentially for any new set I get.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
