Hi everyone.
I want to upgrade to a newer pair of headphones, but am quite indecisive on which one to buy.
After using HyperX Clouds for a long while, a friend of mine gifted me his AD500x. Even tho they have pleased me quite well for a year now, I am itching for an upgrade/different headphone.
The headphones are bit too boring for me in terms of musicality and even while gaming it misses some punch in the lower frequencies. They are a bit too bass-light for me. Overall, they have been pretty good for FPS.
I will be using it for both gaming (shooters, mainly. But very diverse set of games) and music (Rock and heavy metal) while watching some youtube videos on the side. Basically, they will be my daily drivers. By no means do I want a headphone that is super competitive or anything. If it’s gaming performance is quite good with pinpointing footstep directionality and also have good musical performance, then “competitiveness” is something i can really leave in the ditch.
Sennheisers are not quite my cup of tea. The “Sennheiser Veil” is something I really dislike. I do not mind a bit of warmth to a headphone, but with Sennheiser I am just not a big fan of it. My main preference is V-shape, but i can stray away a little bit from that idea. A bit of treble and a bit of low-end is so far that seems to strike with me the most.
After a crap ton of searching around and asking in some discords, I have settled on 2 headphones: The TYGR 300R, which seems to get crazy praise. And the HE400i 2020 edition, which according to many is an awesome budget value too.
TYGRS seem to be quite a soundstage, V-shape king according to the limited reviews that are out there, but people also keep telling me that “Planars are so much better than dynamic drivers in terms of overall sound quality”, especially while AMPing them up and EQ’ing them a little bit. So I am really torn between the two. I will be buying the Schiit Heresy to power the 400i if I decide to buy that one.
Unfortunately there are not many people who seem to have both to compare it for me. Did anyone hear both and could possibly tell me which one you prefer or which one is better ?
