Try the modestly priced HiFiMan Jade2 electrostatics, or, if you have the cash, a pair of Stax SR-009s and the SRM-007TII amplifier. Either one as well as a good pair of magnetic phones such as the Sennheiser HD-800s, or the HiFiMan Arya will likely change your mind. Keep in mind that if you opt for a pair of magnetic headphones instead of electrostatics, you’re going to have to spring for a really good headphone amplifier or you are wasting your money. Something like the Headamp brand or one of Schiit’s headphone amps. Plugging into an amplifier’s or a DAC’s headphone jack usually just won’t do (there are a few exceptions - Benchmark’s DAC3 headphone amp is excellent as is the headphone amp in the Hugo2 DAC from Chord. I’m sure there are others. I think a preference for or against headphones is more than that. I have HD800’s, Audeze LCD-3’s and Focal Clears. I much prefer listening to my stereo over any of them. semente and Solstice380 2 Link to comment
