Hey guys,
I'm looking at getting my first "REAL" headphone. Not a basshead for sure. I enjoy good vocals, nice and sharp, some bass to compliment the music is fine. Stuff that I listen to are Buble, Norah Jones, Buena Vista Social Club, Jazz, R&B, Country and sometimes if I feel like rocking i'll listen to bands like Hinder, Third eye blind, a wee bit of Paramore and stuff. Sometimes abit of David Guetta. I am currently using a pair of Behringer MS40 studio monitors. These monitors have a digital built amp in it. So far I have not gotten 100 hours of total burning in but yeah. Looking for a headphone now for some midnight music and movies, at the same time not waking people up. haha
I'm looking at comfort and i somehow read a few posts that the AD700 is good in a way. Not looking for portability though. I wouldn't mind carrying the AD7000 around my neck if I have to at times, but that probably wouldn't occur on a regular basis. How about the ANC7-b? If you can recommend other headphones that suit my needs, fire away. My budget is around the AD700 - ANC7-b. Getting an amp might be a future plan, but for now, its just headphones.
Thanks heaps guys !

QUOTE(DaEMoNteNTAcLe @ Jul 1 2010, 12:26 AM) r u in australia right now? neways.. amping is subjective.. because most amp have some flavor.. or sound tuning.. so.. it's more of a personal taste.. also amps effect differs according to headphone.. take example.. ur ad700.. by switching amps, u can get either punchy bass, boomy bass, extended bass, muffled bass.. etc.. that;s just the bass. what about the mids, treble, soundstage, separation, position, width, depth, clarity, texture, details, etc etc... it all comes as a package.. so if u dont like the package.. will u still use the amp? Yeah, am in australia now. Heck I even bought my ad700 based on reviews and thankfully it was something i really liked. sigh. |

QUOTE(joe_pwr @ Jul 4 2010, 01:58 AM) How long does it take to arrive to you from Australia? Thanks. Well, I'm in QLD, Australia. It took me less than 1 week but I reckon going to Malaysia wouldn't take to long. You can discuss for a faster shipping method with the seller. |

But for Warranty you still must sent back to the seller, standard risk for online overseas purchase, but you save alot.
