Hi.
This is my first post so a warm hello to everyone !
I have been gleaning info from this forum for years and have bought amps/headphones/IEM from recommendations. I hav been happy with suggested buys such as my Ety 4S and also a pair of Senn 580.....Different sound granted but happy none the less.
I upgraded my portable amp to a desk based tube amp and seperate DAC, both of which were hand built by enthusiasts and have a great sound.
I know longer have the Senn 580, only use my Ety's un amped withh an ipod classic and the desk amp/DAC were stored away.
Now......
Im working from home on a permanent basis via a laptop in the spare room so descided to dust off the tube amp/DAC and look for a set of full sized headphones to make the my shift less boring.
After reading reviews I bougt a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50S and plugged everything up.....Not happy
To me the sound has no mids and very narrow soundstage which is not to my taste.
So hopefully I will be returning them for a refund very soon !
What I am looking for is a full size headphone to match up to my tube amp and seperate DAC combo. I am looking for a warm sound and nothing too analytical but must have a detailed sound with a realistic and not overblown bass very good mids and trebble but without sibilance as I really really hate that. A large soundstage is also important with instrument placement easily identified.
My music taste is wide and varied from rock, blues, pop with some classical.
Could you please suggest a headphone that would fit the above criteria but be within a £200 price budget.....
Not too much to ask then !
Kindest regards
Gary.
