Any recommendations for good headphones for listening to a stationary
stereo of good quality?
I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I don't like Sennheiser
headphones. I tried several different, most recently Sennheiser HD 515,
and they've all had the same sound: good mid register, very little
bass, and virtually no treble. To get a sound at least approaching what
I get from my Mirsch speakers straight from the CD, I had to add +6 dB
of bass and treble. The frequency response curve of these headphones
must look like a bell curve.
It seems obvious these headphones are made for listening to opera, or
for people who are OK with having loudness permanently engaged.
They also weren't very comfortable - they pressed hard. They're not
supposed to, but they did.
So - any suggestions for good headphones for listening to a stationary
stereo, with good bass and treble, and which are NOT made by
Sennheiser?
Also, if someone could point me to some serious audio site with
reviews, that would be welcome.
You may want to listen to Grado SR80's. I've been mostly happy with mine.
The only bad thing I can say is that they get uncomfortable when you wear
them for long periods of time, over two hours. Take a listen and then
decide if you like them.
