I fnally decided to break the $200 mark. Wondering which headphones i should get? - Page 3

The sad thing is that most of the recommendations in this thread are rarely available in-store in Canada. Sure I can find the HD650, but for a price of $550, IIRC.

Living in Canada sucks for buying anything.

Grado 225i is good for you. Never heard the Senn but the Shures will kill any metal in a matter of seconds.

the DT1350's aren't just for metal, not by a long shot. They ft for...pretty much every type of music I have listened to them with.

dt 880 /600s for 199!?!??

No that's not what I meant. I just meant that my suggestion for the 8400's was probably moot, since I have never listened to metal with those, or any cans for that matter... I'm sure the DT1350 are good for many other genres as well :)

It is when you consider the regular price is $299.

Interesting, well my first real headphone (SA-5000) RRP and Japanese price is $699, so I guess I broke the $600 mark a lot earlier than I thought I did!! ;P

I broke the $700 mark with Tesla T5p and I'm glad I did, after my second headphone meet yesterday I only appreciate them all the more.

i hear ya, i feel the same way.
 

lol since nov 1st i've bought rs1, pro 900s, turbine pro golds, and a new amp. 

im buying lcd-2 and t1 in the coming weeks as well. overall, like $6,000 spent in less than 6 months lol.

IMO the HD25 is perfect for rock, maybe a little dry, but no where near as dry as you'd get with any other suggestions, except a few like the T50
