So it looks like I've narrowed it down to the dt990 premiums. The question is,   Do I want 250Ohms or 600Ohms   and what amp should I get.

So it looks like the Premiums will be the way to go for me. What didn't you like about the comfort of them though? I really want comfortable cans that I can wear for a long time. The only other headphones I've worn for long periods are the HD25s, which clamp really hard and the beats, which were...

Quote:   Haha, just listened to that on 320p on youtube with apple earphones to see what it was and I almost laughed aloud when I realized that words cannot describe the difference in quality between what you and I are listening to.   And beyer's grados sounds pretty good to me.

Are they still good for rock music?

Alright, so I think I've come to a decision on an amped dt990. Those look like they really meet my criteria. Does anybody have any recommendations on ohms/amps?   Gwarmi mentioned the 600Ohms cans with the Audio GD NFB-12, that looks like an awesome setup, but very pricey. Does anybody have...

I think I understand how the dt990's bass is now, and the warm sound isn't extremely important. Out of the dt990 and the d2000's, which would you say has better soundstage?

Thanks for all of the replies, this is really helpful   To clear up a few things, I will be using these headphnes at home and possibly with an amp. Right now I just have a Fiio E5 to back up my HD25's, but I'll take any reccomendations if anybody thinks a certain amp is necessary or goes...

  Hi, I'm looking for a second pair of headphones to accompany my HD 25-1's. They're a great pair of headphones and are good for rock, but now I'd like something that's almost the opposite. I'd like headphones with a large soundstage and a bit more warmth and thump to the bass (but still...

Hi, this isn't about buying, but its a really simple question, and I couldn't find another place for it.    Is it okay to place headphones on a hook like this?:     Will it damage them over time?

Well, just got the HD25-1 II's in the mail and they're great! Really what I was looking for; they're a bit tight as mentioned, but hopefully they'll loosen over time. Just wanted to thank everyone for the help!

Sorry, zmd, missed your post. That was really helpful and the video showed me a lot of things. I think the HD25-1 II's are for me, because of the bigger earcups, lightness, and the focus more on rock, but I just want to ask a couple things around to see people's general opinions.   1. How...

Alright, thanks for the input. The sound quality seems perfect and these might be a nice pair of portables, but I'm looking for something you can sit down and listen to for a day. Any other comments on the comfort?

Thanks for all the recommendations, and these look great, but I just want to make sure about something. So these are portable, which I don't really need, but it's not as if it's a problem. I just want to make sure there's no better headphones just following my initial conditions. Does everybody...

Thanks for the recommendation, the hd25-1 II's look good. I hear they're good for hard rock and metal, which I do listen to a good amount of, but how are they with classic rock or some more acoustic things?
