[size=10.0pt]Hey all, first off I'd like to express the immense appreciation that I feel for the Head Fi community, you guys have really helped me out over the last couple of years I've been lurking and sometimes posting.[/size]

[size=10.0pt]My Beyer DT 990s 600 Ohms are no longer functional, since one of the speakers isn't working and I bought them through ebay (thus no warranty). If anybody has any suggestions for what I should do with this, I'd be glad to hear them, but the point is that I'm buying new headphones. The Beyers were too bright for me, and thus I think I'm gonna have to stay away from the U shaped sound signature for a while.[/size]

[size=10.0pt]I'm fully aware that I'm comparing apples to oranges, but my decision is still relatively difficult. I'm driving my phones through a E7 E9 combo, I don't have any EQing software and most of my library is 320kbps.[/size]

[size=10.0pt]Most of the music I listen to is electronic dance music, although i'd also like my headphones to sound good for pop/rock etc. Right now I mostly listen to my Monster TP Copper. They sound amazing, but sometimes I get tired of having something inside of my ears for too long.[/size]

[size=10.0pt]Clearly, tight bass is paramount, but I'm flirting with the idea of having something that really rocks your head and you can feel. My budget would be around $300. I guess my real question would be, after having the 990's, would the XB 1000s just be a downgrade from audiophile quality to something that resembles Skullcandy? I've never listened to any of the XBs but I heard the 1000s are significantly better than the 700s.I have always been attracted to the HD650s, but I'm afraid it won't be a real change to what I usually hear and thus somewhat boring. I haven't listened to any + $100 Senns either.[/size]

[size=10.0pt]Thanks all, hope to hear a wide variety of opinions to help me choose. And BTW, if you have any other suggestions, feel free to share them.[/size]
