I Cool @Mshenay.
Got the Shures and have been listening to them for two days. I like them, but I was thinking about picking-up the DT880's - 250 ohms is my only option there.
You have these @Mshenay, right? http://www.guitarcenter.com/Beyerdynamic-DT-880-Pro-Studio-Headphones-105134373-i1426863.gc
I do am I'm enjoying them as I type this out. They really are my FAVORITE can, as they are very transparent and have nice detail. The sound stage is sufficent as well! Big enough to have good seperation and air, small enough to get a little intimate... I ofc have cans that do Intimacy and airyness to extremes so xD I switch from balanced to AIRY then to INTIMATE, then back in the middle lol
But I recommend listening to a truely refrance can like the dt 880 just to get your bearings with sound. THe Akg is also refrance grade so either way, you'll want to know what Neutral and transparent sound like, that will help you better describe other cans that you hear as well as decide what you like and don't like about new cans and new amps
For example, my first can the XB 700 is extremely dark, and well almost everything sounded very simmilar. Amps, sources ect... ect... and all I heard was bass. Getting the dt 880s allowed me to better pin point differances in cans and amps
SO go for a dt 880 pro 250 [it's the most neutral, and if you like it the 600 ohm is slighty warmer [I use tubes on my 250 so I get my warmth that a way]]
But either way, enjoy what ever you get and always judge with your ears. If you think the can sounds terrible... I'd keep it a week if u can, then if u still hate it ofc return it and get another <3 reading impressions is nice but not better than hearing first hand
