Hi,
I'm new round here and after searching the forums for the last couple of weeks I am about to pull the trigger on my first decent headphone purchase. I was all ready to buy a pair of senn hd650 until I realised that they were no way going to suit my needs. I am going to get a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 pro (unless anyone can convince me better) and my main worry is which ohm choice to go for and whether or not it is essential for me to buy an amp and if so which one. This is my use/criteria list:
- Preferably closed back but not essential
- Over ear headphones
- I want to be able to use them with my ipod because I listen to lots of iplayer radio shows this way
- I listen to all types of music but primarilliy drum and bass and dubstep
- I don't really want to use a seperate amp (especially with my ipod) but I obviously will if I performance is significantly affected
- I do not have a maximum budget but I am reluctant to spend over £300 as this will be my first serious headphone purchase
As I said I am probably going to go for the beyers but I could do with a bit more advice and reasurance that they will fit my needs (in particular as to ohm choice) . Don't be afraid to change my mind and feel free to suggest better options if you think that I am making a mistake.
Thank you very much for your help
Tom
