Looking for a good pair of headphones with good mid-range

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

Okay, So I've recently began looking for a new pair of headphones,, after having the Sennheiser 280s for about 2 years, I got tired of them and wanted something with more color / bass, etc. Since then, I've tried the Ultrasone 900 (Didn't like them at all, way too much bass and high end and barely any mid at all), Sennheiser HD-25 (I was impressed with the quality, sound isolation, size, durability, and sound quality, but not quite enough mid range once again), and the Sony MDR-v700 (I actually really liked the sound of these because they have a really driving mid range which is what I like, and some decent bass, but not enough clarity and high end as well as they give music a weird tone / color that I didn't like as much, as well as being reall plasticky and seeming like they won't last a long time due to build quality). I really mainly listen to my iPhone and mostly hear electronic music, especially Drum & Bass and Dubstep, along with some Electro House and some Rock here and there, and occasionally some hip hop. I'm looking for a pair of closed headphones that have decent bass (not too overpowering) , good high end, nice clarity and no weird colors, and ESPECIALLY a great driving mid-range because those are the frequencies where you can really FEEL the most sounds, other than sub bass such as growling basses, and drums, especially snares. So are there any recommendations you guys can give me, remember, especially for mid range? I was looking at the Sennheiser 380 and some Shure SRH840 but I'm not sure if they would be worth it. I'm yet to find a pair of perfect headphones, and my budget is anywhere up to 250 at most. I really hope you guys here can help me out! Thanks so much in advance,

Hey!

 

I would recommend the dt 770 pro 80 ohm version. It has great bass response, super comfortable, and provides good isolation. Also, eventhough bass is its strong point the rest of the frequency isn't colored because of this. Nice mids and highs.

 

Also, the Phiaton MS 400 might be a good option too. Really forwards mids on that headphone from my experience with decent bass too. It doesn't hurt that it is a great portable and looks good too.  

 

Finally, if you are willing to mod I would say get a t50 rp and mod it. The stock version of the t50 has some absolutely breath taking mids for the price and with the right mods the bass becomes quite great too! 

 

Hope this helps somewhat!

Srh 440 with 840 replacement pads :).

Or if budget allows might want to demo a 1440 which some people claim to have a better midrange and higher end.

You can try the GMP 8.35.
