Good headphone, a little too bassy for my taste and slightly overpriced

I never had a Beyer Headphone and I took the risk to buy this one without testing it, based on great reviews that I found on the net. I knew that I was note buying a monitoring headphone ( I already have an AKG) and my purpose was to have a more relaxed and "hifi" style sound. I am using it with an RME ADI-2-DAC in my studio and with a vintage Dual amp. Noth drive the Amiron with ease, and it even works correctly when connected to an iPhone witho... Montre plusut an amplifier. The Amiron does deliver a smooth and bassy sound as expected, but I am slightly disappointed : the bass lacks a little control. It is not as tight as I like. It's a matter of taste : I am not a bass freak and my home speakers are Magnepan panels, which have a bass that is not loud and boomy but is incredibly well defined. The Amiron's bass is far from the boomy vomit that comes out of headphones designed for rap fans, but still it is not tight enough for my taste. Nevertheless, I will keep the Amiron because others like it. Comfort is above average, but quality is a bit disappointing : - the material of the earcups feels a little cheap, - the minijack to jack adapter that was delivered with the Amiron, though it looks gold plated, did transfer signal only on one channel (that's ridiculous). As a conclusion, the sound is a matter of taste and I am aware that my prefercences for light and tight bass may not be common. But overall and given the perceived quality, this headphone is overpriced.Montre moins
