I would go try and hear a grado headphone with the wood body along with a good headphone amplifier like the grado amp or a quality unit from pass labs, hi-fi man, or luxman. The sound you get will be great, but you will miss the tactile sensation of music being played, which no headphone can deliver.
Any idea which headphones I’d like?
I’ve sold all of my 2-channel gear, and am stepping into the headphone realm. Unfortunately, there is no place around me that sells high end headphone gear. I loved Dynaudio and Harbeth speakers. I ran the Confidence C4’s, and Harbeth Super HL5+ on Pass Labs XA amps. I’m open to input as to which headphones would encapsulate the qualities of those speakers. Any input is greatly appreciated.
