currently have b&w p5 series 2 wireless and looking to upgrade purely for home use at my pc. i have fiio e17 amp dac which will be used with the headphones i decide to get.
ideally i am looking for a headphone with a low end boost as i like my bass, a good soundstage and good comfort.
i have two sets i am looking at. sennheiser hd700 and the b&w p9 signature.
the p9 look amazing. and seem to be the better option but would like some guidance.
pros and cons of each?
would i need a new amp dac to make the most of the hd 700s? this would be added cost..
it would be good to see what music sounds like with a really nice pair. i hear things about premium headphones that are spacious and every instrument sounds like it comes from a different area around you.
this is what draws me to the p9 with its drivers angled differently which makes the music sound like its coming from in front of you. almost like you're listening on a pair of speakers.
any other cans that are worth looking up? i did see the oppo pm-3 and pm-2.
what are the advantages of Planar magnetic drivers over dynamic? i think i read in the past that they arent as good for low end compared to dynamic.
