Hi,

First thanks to you to stop by my topic, I hope you will be able to help me ! 🤪

I am currently using the headphones Audio Technica ATH-M50x, I've used them for 3 years now and I love them a lot,

but I would like to upgrade for even better now.

I use my headphones daily for long period of time so I need something strong.

I produce music, so I think I need a flat sound, but I do like some bass, other wise I can't hear my 808s.

My pc doesn't support bluetooth, but wireless is something I would really like to have.

My budget is around 300$(CAD) / 225$(USD).

 

Hopefully that gives enought information on what I want, if not ask me I will gladly tell you what you need !

They are 150 ohms, do you think I need an amp with that?

Depends what you're using them with, but it'd likely help.

Not into this case as they are pretty easy to drive. My laptop, microphone output ,pc and phone can power these pretty loud.

Thank you I could not find the sensivity to look it up haha! Are you using a DAC? my motherboard is a asus z270-a but I don't know if the DAC of this motherboard is good.

I am using an external DAC yes. It's a modern motherboard so depending on how it's shielded it should sound ok. I don't know about that particular motherboard though. Related chip numbers don't tell me much about how it really performs

It's not necessarily good or bad. It works.

PM/DM me if you have any questions about audio.
