Hi folks,
Broached this subject about 12 months ago.
I was looking for a pair of closed backs for living room listening whilst my better half was watching telly. Listened to loads of pairs and basically decided that I couldn't get on with closed backs as I didn't like the sound.
Anyway, I'm back on the subject now and I'm looking at open backed phones now.
My local place have said Sennheisers are the best (but then that's all they stock!). I remember being very impressed by my brother's Beyers (round speakers with grey velour pads) and a pair of Grado SR80s at a dealer.
So what is the general consensus on here?
I'm after something fairly neutral, good all rounder - I listen to soft/heavy/classic rock, classical, bit of dance.
At the moment I'm thinking Grado SR80s or Beyer 880s.
Also, where's a good place to get them cheap?
Cheers all.
