Hi guys,
I read a lot of your reviews on several headphones as I am looking to buy one and I wanted to ask for your opinion. I have to say, the more I read and the harder it is to choose!
I will use this headphone with my ipod and on my computer for music mainly without any amp (movies as well but I prefer to focus on the music part). I will use it in the bus, train, and plane most of the time and at home the rest of the time.
I listen to many kinds of music such as pop/rock, folk, soul, jazz, classic, R&B, ... So I need this headphone to do well with all kinds of music.
Finally, most of my music is in AAC on my ipod because I lack space. The 160go is already reaching its max capacity so I cannot use loseless format except on my computer. I guess it would make sense to go for two headphone - one for transports with the ipod and the other to use with my computer. For the time being, let's concentrate on the ipod one!
Based on your reviews and what I could gather here and there, I had the following list in mind:
- V-Moda Crossfall M100 (too bassy may be?)
- Sennheiser Momentum (any difference in quality between the on ear and the other?)
- BeyerDynamics Custom Pro One
- Sony MDR 1R
- B&W P5 (P7? or it requires an amp to fully deliver its qualities?)
- Focal Spirit One
I was able to try them all out except the V-Moda which is impossible to get my hands on in Switzerland...
In terms of confort, I did not like the Focal, so I already wanted to drop it from the list.
What would be your favourite pick among this list for my usage? I am also open to any suggestion if you think there is another headphone more appropriate.
Wish you a good day.
Best regards,
Alex
