Noob try not to buy HD800s challenge
Hi I currently only have a pair of xm5s but am looking to get more audiophile focused headphones and I found a pair of HD800s for $500 that someone is selling used. I am wondering if this is a good purchase, I know I will need to get a dac so my total price would probably be around $750-800 I assume but is this a very stupid first purchase? I enjoy sitting down and just listening to albums as an activity which is why I think I will enjoy an upgrade. I listen to a lot of spacerock, shoegaze along with post rock and then Elliott Smith, who kind of stands out from what I typically listen to. If its not completely stupid please let me know if you have any dac recommendations. I am a High School student who works and has some disposable income but if the $750+ setup isn't worlds ahead of a $300 setup then I will use the money elsewhere. Thanks!!
