So theres already multiple discussions about this,
but all of the headphones ive heard of are the nighthawks, the aeons, the hd 660s
and the argons, which take tremendous amounts of power to run.
so…
are there any headphones under 400 dollars that sound pretty warm with a really good bass extension?
that, preferably dont short circuit my town?
Hm not sure how the market price is for used fostex purple heart, but that would be territory of bass lover’s choice
Otherwise easy to drive meze 99 is also a choice but that bass does bleed a bit into the mids
pc, probably going to be listening through files and spotify, how warm it should be… lets say, whatever comes close to the ldc 2c in terms of warmth, but, just a little warm touch is not bad, whats important to me is a good bass line as i listen to trap/edm, dubstep, electro, camellia cuz its apparently a genre xD and well you get the point.
the chain of headphone doesnt really matter to me all that much as it would technically be my first audiophile headphones.
Since im not a critical listener i dont care all that much for balance, more for the fun really otherwise also known as warm (i know theyre not the same but many people say so). Clarity is always a good thing though, so preferably not overkill warmth because it would make things muddy unless you pay a lot.
I found them nice and clear with good bass. Although you could not add any bass boost or EQ or you would get distortion. I found the 99 Classic’s to be a fun, beautiful, comfortable and Very easy to drive headphones.
They were my mobile/take to work headphones for a few years.
Hm, with a decent motherboard fostex biodynamic are driveable
But if your in Germany something like Denon ah d5200/7200 could be easier to find on the used market instead of the fostex
The meze 99 should work like a charm with your PC or you could try some beyerdynamic tygr, those aren’t that bassy but definitely a warmer set and also easy to drive
After searching for some months I got my 7200 for 320€ and they are worth that imo
My favorite OTG set and a good listen for fun and when you want some more bass than there should be, sometimes i need to feel it you know
