I'm still your bought a bunch of different good remeasure all, for this is a good, though not cheap doktorheds.
While listening stock 600th, I think - and well and good, sound better than the stock from Samsung, and the bread.
Then you go listen to, for example, Bayer 102nd (inserts), one realizes that stock from the 600th Vivo - below average.
Then moving on to Sennheiser I-80. Do you think - it is already healthy.
Along the way, still a lot of re-measure all different from known / unknown companies, you know that and I-80 - not what you want.
Tried Ortofon, Weston, Shure, various other firms, can not remember the model nor the names of all firms. Went to doktorheds 4 times, they give trouble-free to listen as much as you do not look askance.
As a result, he chose as the droplets are Sony, in the signature. Nothing that listened to the doctor, they are not replayed. They run in the park, for the house at first there were others, bought a few years ago Sony.
Of course, the taste and color of comrades there
Then after a while it was time to change and overhead.
Went about the same path, listened to several Sennheiser, Shure, B & W, Philips, still some others, Audiotechnika (even bought a top model Aire series, Audio-Technica ATH-AD2000X, but after a couple of days back back - the bass was not impressed) I focused on those in the signature.
Unfortunately, the truth of life is that the headphones are more expensive, the better. If after listening to affordable luxury, it immediately becomes bored and sad. And there are those that love among the very expensive, and those that do not like.
The main thing - to convince himself that it was not for one year, then divide the sum of a few years and understand what and why not give yourself such a joy.
Believe me, only then you get what you bought music smartphone when unwind yourself on the headphones corresponding to the smartphone for the price. Just like the Cayenne should not ride on buses Nizhnekamsk plant and dorogushchy smartphone will not sound on the headphones, bought for reasons of economy. Compromise and savings on headphones probably will bring the sound level of your super-smartphone on the level of what some high-end, but pale in our background Samsung and other (I have had and there are various Samsung and HTC, and Apple).
Purely my personal IMHO, I hope, will understand me as I tried to pass it.
ZY Besides Vivo Xplay 3S, home to music using computer sound ASUS Xonar Essence ST card is positioned by the manufacturer as "the sound card of the highest category for audiophile listening to music."
I bought it because a) nothing better within a reasonable price does not exist, and b) really wanted to compare it to the DAC PCM1792a, which is considered the best for today DAC from TI Burr-Brown. Well, a receiver Denon + outdoor speakers, but I personally headphones ten times more popular than the speakers, because only they can hear the smallest details and nuances, but what can I say - and basses, too.
So, it sounds like both about the same headphones that Vivo Xplay 3S, that ASUS Xonar Essence ST. They certainly sound different, but both sound just gorgeous.
And yes, more. During auditions doktorhedse me twice urged allowed to listen Vivo Xplay 3S via a separate headphone amplifier, and so, I did not hear the difference.
