Hey folks
I'm trying to decide on a new set of 'phones for portable use (I have a Colorfly 3 mp3 player)
My music taste is eclectic, covering most basses, but I am particularly fond of country and bluegrass music, so any headphone will have to excel at reproducing stripped back acoustic music. I do love roots and dub reggae, but I really don't want a bass-heavy set of phones.
I've had a set of Grado SR60's for over 10 years and absolutely love them. I even once bought a set of Grado Labs SR325i's, but sold them on as I prefered the cheaper SR60
I recently took delivery of some AKG K495 NC, but returned them. The bass was far too prominent and masked the mids and highs.I also found them uncomfortable after a 5 hour train journey that I regularly have to take.
Does anyone know of any closed-back headphones that are comparable to the SR60 in terms of balance?
