As an unexperienced buyer of headphones and audio equipment I have decided to buy a pair of high end headphones and I could use some advice. The reason is i'm not able to enjoy music as much with cheaper inaccurate sounding headphones after trying my friend's Shure SRH1540 Closed-Back headphones.
I listen to a wide variety of music from metal to classical to edm so i'm not sure if these are good for all music as I only had a few minutes with them. I had enough time with the headphones to appreciate the sound and comfort of them, but it was while listening to music that I wouldn't normally choose to listen to so i'm not certain they would be suited for my taste.
I've also heard good things about the SRH 1840 Open-Back headphones but as I've never tried Open-Back headphones before I'm not sure I'd like them. I would be using these for on the go and home listening so from what I've heard they might not be suited for that but I would really appreciate some input from people experienced in this area. Also if anyone could recommend an amp suited for these headphones because I do not have a clue about them. (Would be listening via iPhone Xs and Macbook Pro)
Thank You!
