Hey guys,
I'm looking at buying a pair of headphones at around £150. I mainly listen to rock and metal music. Some of my favorite bands are Iron Maiden and AC/DC, so you kind of get the idea. I know the AKG 701/2s and the Beyerdynamic DT770/990s are recommended, but one of my friends told me that they would not be suitable for the music that I like to listen to. Might I mention that I also intend to use them for gaming, but I want to focus on the music experience.
Also, I want to buy an AMP/DAC, but I don't know what to get. It needs to be able to power at least 250Ohm headphones at decent volumes. I've heard good things about the FiiO E10k, but is it powerfull enough or is there something better for the price?
As always, thanks for the help guys
Edit: I would prefer closed headphones, because I have a roomate who loves to study
