I currently only own the Shure SE210 and Koss Porta Pros but my Sennheiser HD600 and HD650 will be here within a week.
I really like the SE210 because they sound detailed and very clear to me. No muddiness, no excessive bass. Although the soundstage isn't huge, it's decent. The midrange sounds smooth and I love the great sound isolation! Although it's not as good as the SE530s that I've tried, I think it's worth it for the price.
Although I've seen many people say great things about the Koss Porta Pros, I can't stand them! I find that the bass is so overwhelming that it blocks out a lot of the music's detail and the songs just sound muddy. To me, the soundstage is weird, small, and somehow messy. I can stand this pair of headphones only for R&B, rap, and techno. Anything with a more complicated structure like many layers of instruments seems to be lost with this pair of headphones. I'm wondering if my ears are wonky or is there anyone else out there that can't stand these?
I also use these to play my digital piano and the overwhelming bass really shows up here. When I use the built in speakers on the dp and the SE210s, the grand piano sound sounds bright but not too overly tinny which is the sound that the piano is supposed to produce (it's a Yamaha). When I use the Koss with the exact same dp, the grand piano becomes a mellow piano. It turns to a very muffled mellow sound which is very dark and more similar to the mellow piano setting on my piano compared to the regular grand piano setting.
I guess I'm just not a bass-head but does anyone have experience between these 2 headphones? Or any other Shure vs. Koss headphones for that matter?
