dreamie 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 Hi, I have a budget of about 200-300 and would like to acquire a headphone primarily for home use (computer late night audio) and perhaps sometimes portable use. A can amp would be used to drive it when used at home. I listen mainly to pop. looking for something that has some warmth, but still neutral sounding overall. something more engaging than the er6i. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great for String quarttet of the classical genre, its's just simply too "honest" an headphone (that even apply to their's dirt cheap K66, although it lacks the ultimate refinement, but this is still an "honest" can) Honestly I owned both K501 and K271, I'm saving to buy a K1000, but I'd not recommend one to pickup a AKG for pop ! On the contrary, the Sennheiser, although, less "honest" to my taste, one can enjoy the music more comfortably with the dynamic diminish, tone sweeten, and I'd not be surprised many would like the way it goes over and "honest" can Go look for a Sennheiser around that price range !

Kube 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2006 Agree with LaoMao...I find Sennheisers having a comfortable feeling, laid back music. Other than that, I wouldn't say it has any specialities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
