Hi all,
after years of spending as little as possible on headphones to spend it on gear instead I am ready for a new (read: real) pair of headphones. I have my setup for now which frees up some bucks for new investments, yay!
Now, have any of you people used hd25's and aiaiai's tma-1 to be able to compare them? Because those two are the ones I actually consider (they cover both ends of my targeted price range). Up to now, I used those panasonic retro cans named HT7X which worked surprisingly well considering their lowlowlow price. Nice bass, ok mids, but now I want something that has better rendition of mids and especially highs (I like the highs on the HT7X, but as soon as a hi-hat comes in, i realize why they are cheap, the upper end just blows. They sound like shattering glass sometimes.). Mainly for DJ'ing (minimal techno/tech house), but also to listen to pink floyd on the bus.
I probably won't be able to test them both, only the HD25's.
TMA-1 are cheaper than the hd25, i am a sucker for minimalistic functional design, but i hear the hd25's sound better, especially in the high range. Warm and dark, that's what reviews say about the TMA-1's, brighter and less forward in the mids, as the tma's seem to be a bit oversaturated there. hd25's are about 20% more expensive, depending on source. Are they 20% better also?
Does anyone have a comparison of HT7X and TMA-1's or HD25's? Well that would be superb because I think I am a little biased by using nothing but the panasonics for 2 years. Now i need something that will make me happy for the next 2 years...
cheers folks,
G
