Hello Head-fi brothers, I need help for my nephew who is looking for headphones. Recommendations on models and where they can be purchased locally would be much appreciated.
Here are his basic requirements
He needs something portable so I guess that means sort of compact and has a good case.
He doesn't want IEMs, not comfortable daw, prefers on ear, close backed
He needs some isolation from the outside world because he says he'll use it for studying (he just passed the medical board <you da man James!> ) but does not want active isolation.
He likes clarity and some sweetness and is not a bass head. So much for my V-Moda crossfade recommendation
Sources will be his phone on the go or his MBP using a Geek Out 1000, given the phone I suppose we're looking for cans that are easy to drive.
Files are mostly MP3
Budget is around 10k
Thanks in advance guys!
