Folks,
I am looking for a pair of full sized headphones for home use. These will be driven off either the headphone out of a Marantz PM7001 or off a dedicated headphone amp.
The traits I am looking for are:
- fairly neutral sound signature (similar to dynaudio speakers)
- bass should be detailed but not pumped up (similar to a bookshelf)
- excellent soundstage (this probably implies that I'll need to stick to open headphones)
- price: anything upto Rs.10k
The problem is that availability of quality headphones in India (with the exception of Sennheiser, which I dont like) seems to be very poor. Suggestions on headphones
that are available in India and fit the above criteria would be most appreciated. In case people think availability in India is too bad, please suggest headphones in the $120 range that I can procure from overseas (would work out to nearly 10k incl shipping and customs).
Thanks
Jaibir
