I have tried the Grados and Sennheisers with the XCan and XCan 2 amps, and did not like either combo that much. I finally settled on the 600s for phones and a Headroom Max for the amp. I have not yet found anything better.
Headphones and amp questions
I am contemplating getting a set of headphones and headphone amp, again.
In the past when I considered this, the Senn 600's and the Grado RS-2's seem to be the leaders in my research, as well as some AKG's.
First question, the Senn's are open back and can be easily heard by others from what I have read, is this true? Are the Grado's quieter than the Senn's in this respect?
I don't know anything about headphome amps, I was thinking about the Musical Fidelity X-can, is this a good choice?
Will it hinder the music much if I get a long extension for the headphones? I would like to sit, comfortably, a good 14ish feet away.
Any and all opinions will be appreciated.
