The biggest problem I have with m40x is the boring, two-dimensional sound like I highkey enjoyed listening to my music through the whip. The increased wideness, sub-bass, and comfort of the AKG's sounded promising to me however

these are fire im wearin them rn

I've researched about them and was considering getting them 32 ohm version since the 80 ohm needs an amp. Steered away from them after hearing the 32 ohm not being good and I don't wanna shell out extra money for an amp either.

In this situation were in I'll just have to hold off purchasing the headphones, I'm either gonna go with AKG 371 or Sony 700n after the virus s*** is over hopefully. Cancelled the AKG 371 order from Amazon after I heard they charge restocking fee, and there's some QC issues going around

save up for an amp

i dont use the ones i linked when i listen to music on my phone in bed tho. i use 650s but those are dumb expensive

This ain't the situation to purchase headphones but yea I'll probably try to save up for an amp and maybe purchase good pair like this Summer or Fall when this Rona s*** is behind us hopefully then

Edit: just looked at the amps and s***s are like $100+ it's too expensive for me sorry fam. I'll just get those AKG's or Sony's lol

@Slingshot Imma just order the smaller brother of those AKG headphones, the 361 model. I feel (from what I’ve read) the sound may not be as good but it’s close and feels more comfy than 371’s. Plus s***s cheaper by $50 too

Man I’m excited to get away from my M40X

fx-audio dac x6 is a fantastic cheap amp

I'm good on amps for now, maybe I'll get them down the road in the future, too much money for me for now. I appreciate your suggestion though

Audio Technica ath-a900x been good to me the past 5 years or so

what in ears sound like m50s

I'm sure they sound fantastic but I'd like them to look cosmetically good too. I just went with Akg k361 at last

hd6xx or bust

edit: im late as f***

Ahh gotcha, yea I wouldn't use them outside either, the akg's should be good tho man hope you likem

He said he returned em in another thread

dude said he wants good isolation and yall are suggesting open back sennheisers lol

Received my K361’s today, and off the bat I noticed there’s less bass than my M40X. However, the sound feels more detailed and wider tbh, along with significantly better comfort. Imo I’m satisfied and the trade off is definitely worth it imo

On the side note Toosie Slide sounds terrible on them, feels so narrow and lifeless

But Lupe’s music sounds better

Sennheiser HD599

Open back. Comfortable af.

Bought these a few weeks back, they’re pretty good (Bosche Quietcomfort 35 II) and affordable
