Hi all. I'm lookin for some sick new headphones.
A while back I bought the Grado-SR225i headphones. They were quite nice - better than any headphones I got previously - yet I was not blown away the moment I put them on and listened to something. Great sound quality, but they felt a bit underpowered... no WOW factor, though they did bring out new aspects of songs I didn't hear usually.
Recently I put on my friend's Beats by Dre headphones. WOW!!! They sound amazing. The songs really come to life when I listen to them... I listened to Made of Love on them, a song I had listened to dozens of times on different headphones (and at trance concerts), and they brought out things I had never noticed.
however I heard that beats by dre are overpriced cause of the brand name, so i sought to buy something in that price range but from a different brand, thinking i'd get a better deal. I bought some Denon AHD2000s, and... well I was left unimpressed. they were OK.. maybe crisper mids than my Grado's, but i had more fun listening to the Grado's... and a lot more fun listening to the Beats.
So my question is.. are there headphones that sound like the Beats, but better (better to me, based on what i've posted here)? or should i just go and buy some damn Beats already since that's what i seem to like? =) i would kind of like the Bass + wow factor of the beats , plus the better quality of the Denon's.
