Thanks for all the kind responses. I am actually having a quite hard time narrowing this down to dt 880 vs dt 990. I know this may have been discussed to death, but I can't seem to quite pin-point what suits my needs.
So, I think I am concerned with dt 880 for the rather less than prominent bass, while I am concerned with dt 990 for less detail and separation. DT 880 seems to fit all of my needs except for the bass. But before I make such an assumption, how much bass is actually present in dt880?
I have never purchased hi-fi equipments, so my reference for the quantity of bass is mdr-v150.
Sony MDR-V150
Thanks!
