Hi there, I would like to know your advice. I already use AT M40x and Phillips SHP9500 for this purpose and I´m really happy, but deep inside I think I should get "more serius" headphones.
I wouldn´t go for higher price cans because I'm believe in diminishing returns and also because I have other hobbies that are kind of expensive.
I would like to try some planars, but I'm afraid of HifiMan bad QA reputation, HD600 seems like "the gold standard", but I've heard it sounds very similar to the SHP9500 and on paper it lacks a lot of lower bass, so I´m afraid I could feel disapointed once I listen to them. I've also seen great reviews of Fidelio X2HR and on paper looks like it has a more extended and flatter bass frequency response than even the Sundara. In case I get the HD600, do you think it's worth to get the HE400se also as a "poor man's Sundara"?
I can't try them before buying in my third world country.
Thanks in advance.
