I have 2 headphones, Akg q701 in my main pc and Motörhead Bomber hooked to old android phone that serves as a portable (bootleg) player.
I'm still looking for better headphones for the portable and I'm open to suggestions. I only paid 5 euros for the motörhead phönes back in the day and for that money they are incredible bargain. But they are not exactly hifi. There's something lacking which I can't quite describe. For the portable music player the phones I'm looking for should have high sensitivity. External headphone amplifier is out of the question and the output from honor play phone which is not very loud (but is great quality) must suffice. Also they'd have to be as compact and lightweight and comfortable as possible.
I might consider bluetooth too.
I can see the listening experience depends on the source. On the honor play the Bomber sounds hugely better than the Akg and on my Pc it's vice versa, and the bomber are pretty useless at PC use in comparison.
It would be nice to have headphones that sound good in both sources. Otherwise I'm quite satisfied with the Akg pair. I tried a basic external Dac/headphone amp (Beresford something) for those and didn't spot any diffence with the high quality line out on my Pc motherboard, so I haven't purchased headphone amp.
Internet is full of audio sites and forums of course, but I thought asking here to discuss all things headphones.
