Whos our heaphone experts here?
Although Im not a huge audiophile, I do like good quality sound.
ATM, I have a set of Sennheiser HD202s running of my Titanium HD. I really like the sound quality they provide, and have no major complaint there. However, my issue with them is that after a hour or so they start becoming a bit uncomfortable.
I use them for listening to music, and gaming. So long gaming sessions is where they start to be a bit of a bother.
At any count, I was looking into the Sennheisers 438s and 515s. Both seem to have a bit larger cups than the 202s so hoping theyll be a bit more comfy.
Anyone know anything about these sets, or can reccomend another that would be comparable?
Obviously Im looking for something that will be more comfortable that the 202 for longer period of times and soundjust as good, preferably a bit better if Im purchasing new anyway.
Also, the 515s are open vs the closed design of the 202s and 438s. I know this may sound silly, but Ive never had a set of open HPs, so not sure what to expect there. I have read they tend to leak sound more than closed, but for me thats a non-issue as these are for home use in a computer room. What other advantes are there really to open designs?
I do like the fact that at least the 202s tend to muffle ambient.
