I think those headphones sound great because they have a very flat frequency response and low distortion. No worries about room effects. Be careful about playing them too loud for too long.
I can't stop listening on my headphones.
Lately I've been doing more and more listening on my HD600's rather than my main system (Martin Logan Aeons with CJ Premier 18 / MF2500). There seem to be many advantages:
1. I can listen at high SPL's without bothering anyone.
2. The acoustics of the room are out of the equation.
3. Single driver coherence - no crossover.
What do you guys think? Loren.

You should check out http://www.head-fi.org to learn more about all things headphone related. There are bunch of great people over there, very similar to Audiogon in terms of the friendly banter. |
I've had the same experience recently, excepting it was with a pair of Etymotice ER-4S! Sounds great and I can listen to classical late at night without disturbing others. Normally the dynamics are too great and if I turn it up loud enough to hear the soft parts the loud parts wake my wife. Enter the Ety's -> Problem solved. I would also recommend Head-Fi, it's a great place for headphone enthusiasts! Ehart - Check out Head-Fi also, there are a lot of amps available in any price range you're looking for. And you'll be amazed how cheap the gear seems after playing here! |
