| Re: Head Phones, Where to buy, What to buy?
I have a Ultrasone Edition 9 (headphone) feed by a Yamamoto HA-02 amp feed by my Lavry DA10 dac feeding off my computer files using a M-Audio USB Audiophile for the USB to S/PDIF conversion.
I also have a ATH-ESW9 which is very good for about a quarter of the price of the UE9 above.
One other headphone which I have is the ATH-ANC7.
I have owned several other headphones: ATH-W5000, ATH-W1000, Ultrasone Proline 2500 and iCans, Beyer DT880, GR-80, Sennhieser HD495, Phillips xx895.
It boils down to how much you want to spend and what sound you enjoy most. For myself I am a fan of the Ultrasone Proline 750 (closed) or 2500 (open) or one of the models just below this. I am also a fan of the Audio-Technica sound. The best portable headphone out there in my opinion if the ESW9 I noted above. It is closed and sits on you ears. The UE9 is one of the best period.
