New Head-Fier
Hi I want to buy a headphone that has the best vocal for pop songs. Think something like an Adele song. I don’t really put too much value on the instruments but I would like as much clarity and details on the vocals. Also I don’t really want to hear the vocal sound like it is coming from inside my head, ideally should sound like it’s coming from a stage (not sure if that’s contradictive with clarity). I dont put much value in the strength of base (like feeling the base of a big speakers in the chest kind of thing).
I'm a complete newbie so I did as much research as possible but it still seems like there are so many choices. Currently I am testing some loaned equipment, a fiio k7 amp with HD800s and HD660s2.
The 660 sounds like very claustrophobic, not really a fan (also not that comfortable, clamp too much).
The HD800s is much better in that respect, like an open room. But I find the vocal doesn't stand out not sure why. The instruments are crystal clear though.
Please help! I dont have the right lingo as a newbie so I hope the description makes sense. Also let me know if it requires a special amp. Thank you!!
