Thanks!!!
Among all those which has more scene?

And between the LSA Hp-2 and the elegía which one is more suitable for you for ambient or classical music?

We do share some tastes. I have found there are lots of 'phones and companies that I don’t like. :grin:

My list of 6 from worst to first:

  1. The Audio Technica WP 900’s. Beautiful 'phones, but the mids have been scooped out. Literally.

  2. T60 Argons. Lacks clarity, precision and deep bass. Fun, looks beautiful and a pretty good price.

  3. Beyer T5’s. Amazing bass, great isolation but lacks detail. Really dark.

  4. Elegia’s. Great mids, highs and lots of detail. Great isolation, but the bass is a bit light.

  5. CFA Cascades. A wall of bass. When I first got them, they made me giggle and still do. I Love them, but they have one of the worst headbands in the business.

  6. LSA HP-2’s. The best closed back I have ever owned. The most articulate, precise bass I have ever heard. The mids and treble are also beautiful. These are made by Kennerton.

And that is just the current closed backs. I have blown through way too many headphones that have Really disappointed me. :laughing:

I crave variety as much as quality, it seems.

By more scene, I think you’re looking for a wide sound stage? To my ears, I would say probably a tie between Elegia and LCD-XC. I almost don’t notice that those two are closed back.

I’ve only had the HP-2s for a month or so, and I’ve owned the Elegias for more than 2 years, but I’m leaning towards preferring HP-2 over Elegia for acoustic and classical.

I almost bought WP 900s just based on their looks, but I don’t think missing mids would appeal to me!

Again, if you find Robin bass to be “correct,” you will hate the Elegia’s bass. You’ll find it thin and quiet, in comparison, because there’s no boom or bloom. Just a bit of punch when called upon.

If you seek a nice contrast to the Robin’s bass, then the Elegia could be lovely. A terrific headphone with classical, strings, acoustic, vocals because of the emphasis on mids and non-sibilant treble.
