sony mdr-7506?
do they need to be closed or are open headphones also ok ?
Low-Fi AT that i listened to (Audio-Technica ATH-AD700) did pretty ok , i enjoy my DT880 for movies and games alot
thats completely wrong statement and you should never ever say that again
But Siberia are also amazing..
love it as headset
1. budget, the most important part :)
2. environment (when you want no leakage and/or dont want to hear ambient sounds -> you need closed cans, otherwise it doesnt matter)
3. what you are going to put it in; some headphones are good only when they are driven good, and sufficient amplifiers can cost another 100-200 at minimum
4. what do you want them for, and this means which genres are you listening to, some headphones have sound signatures that are suitable only for certain type of music. Just for the info, headphones are not nearly as good as speakers for movies, movies needs spacious presentation which headphones just cant provide (but ofc, there are some which are better with movies than the others, but compared to speakers, they dont provide same entertainment)
5. personal preference, some people like huge bass drop, some want refined mids, some wants balance
I personally own 3 pairs of Audio-Technica headphones (ATH-EW9 for portable player, ATH-W1000X and ATH-W3000ANV for home use), I love all of them but I would say they are way above your budget.
Btw, dont listen to zafoga that high-end ATs suck, he doesnt know what he is talking about.
Thanks again!
Well, before my son's birth I was a "exchange" addicted :D with the gaming mouses. Bought/exchange it on forums with others and so on. only brand that i didn't tryed is R.A.T i guess.
All ended with the little one birth and when i found a nice and stable mouse,Xai. Would like to try the new sensei, but my mind stops me every time i want to buy it :DDDDD
Speaking of forums: got some offers for exchange with a deathadder this headphones: senn HD 428/429 and some thermaltake i think.Could tell me from your experience if any of this is good at home use,but for ET and others games also(maybe will have more time when ill move into my own home in a few months) ?
Thank you for your help mate!
Take care
i listened to some of the higher ups from Hifiman be4 and i really liked what i heard which could aswell influenced my opinion on the l3000 , the source was a audio gd nfb10se that sounded quite neutral with my customs
thats the important part, just because you didnt like something it doesnt mean they suck. AT headphones have their sound signature, they are extremely "romantic" and no headphones come even close to what they can do to vocals. Of course there will be some differences between different AT top models, but they all share that sweet coloration known only to Audio-Technica. I know of many people who highly prefer AT models in certain genres over other high-ends, such as HD800, LCD-2 or T1. However, there are some genres where AT are trailing behind, such as classical music or jazz. But for pop, rock or metal, they are just so sweet sounding and so entertaining to listen to. "Problem" with AT is, they are kind of conservative and stick to their coloration pattern, which is love it or hate it. Same goes for design, not everybody likes their wing system and wood. However, I can understand the dislike towards W5000, they are probably the most arguable AT headphones they made. Thats why I got W1000X at first. But with release of W3000ANV they got everything to whole new level, they took every positive thing from W1000X and W5000 + they fixed their main flaws. Right now W3000ANV and L3000 are considered (arguably ofc, more people more tastes) to work the best for rock, pop and vocalistic music. For orchestral/classical music, you might want to look into other brands tho.
P.S.: NFB-10SE isnt the best source if you want drive AT headphones to the top.
