Topic: Headphones with Pianoteq?
I've read threads like this on other forums and they don't seem to acheive much but i thought here we at lest have a common frame of reference so maybe I'll get some useful information!
I'm currently using Sennheiser 212pro phones. They're pretty good though a bit base heavy but I'm thinking of upgrading. The problem is it's not practical to try before I buy even if I could find a shop that would let me try high quality headphones - try dragging a desktop, monitor, keyboard mouse and controller into a hi-fi shop lol!
So I pretty much have to go by reviews, order and hope!
The cans I'm currently considering are - AKG K240Mk2, Sennheiser HD280 Pro, Sennheiser HD595, Sennheiser HD555 and Grado SR60
Does anyone have any experience of any of them with Pianoteq? I need phones that will work well without a headphone amp straight off my computer. I've been slightly put off the Sennheisers since reading that someone blew a brand new pair of 555s by having too much bass and Skip has posted on these forums about problems with 595s.
At the moment the AKGs appeal most but they're studio monitor headphones which I've heard may be a little dry for listening to recorded music - not sure how that would affect Pianoteq?
Thanks for any thoughts!
