In my pursuit to get a set of headphones to blow my mind with metal I have devised a short list.
I own Alessandro Ms2i Amazing phones but too fatiguing after a while. Was thinking of Stax but on head-fi people say its not the best suited for metal. SO i now narrowed it down to the following.
Question is which do you guys think would blow my mind most. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS
I like big bass but not sacrificing detail and instrument separation.
My choices are
Grado - RS1i - The obvious upgrade
Grado GS1000 - Superb reviews from what i read
Denon AH-D7000 - All rounder and tremendous bass and treble.
Alessandro MSPRO - Logically the wise choice as i own the Ms2i
AKG Q701- REASON for this shock choice is quincy jones produced thriller and thats pretty PRAT so guessing must be good for rock - or am i wrong.
Audeze LCD-2 - problem is nowhere stocks them in UK.
HIFIMAN -HE-5LE - Not heard much about them but from what little I have people say they are immense.
Beyer Tesla T1. - What hifi said they are awesome sounding headphone and have good bass apparently.
What do you guys thinks - Want something which i will treasure and which makes my hifi less used
Need your help and thoughts
Another question is would a dedicated head amp make a bigger difference than using my speaker amp to drive my phones??
