My two nicest headphones are the K601 and DT880. Both are similar, but the K601 has a wee bit more punch and highs that aren't quite as crystal as the DT880. I enjoy both headphones, but due to their similarities, I am itching to find something new. I don't go nuts buying headphones - I like to buy things that I will keep for a long time.
I want to buy another headphone, and I want it to have a different sound signature from the two headphones I already own.
I listen to mostly rock music - everything from heavy metal, speed metal (Megadeth), stoner rock (Kyuss), pop/rock (XTC), art rock (Roxy Music), mellow rock (Lloyd Cole), progressive rock (Yes). I use CDs and MP3s at VBR 256.
I do not want highs any brighter than the DT880, and I do not want anything that even remotely has recessed mids. Price should be <$500 US.
I plan to use it primarily paired with my HeadRoom Micro Stack (with the desktop module free upgrade). I use my computer's HD for MP3s and the CD-ROM drive for CDs. My PC is very quiet.
I've looked into: the Grado RS-2, but I am a little afraid of the highs; the Denon D2000; the Sennheiser HD650; Denon D5000. Open or closed doesn't really matter. I suppose if I couldn't make up my mind, I'd go closed, since the only closed phone I own is the DT770 (this phone is OK, but it doesn't thrill me, and I am thinking of selling it. I have had it for 3+ years).
Thanks.
