Thanks for the suggestion. I've already looked up impressions and reviews for those, I'm going to give the HD 600s a try first though.

I see, thanks for the tip.  I was curious about the HiFiMan headphones, but they're definitely an upgrade for another day.    That's just from what I read and heard so far, I can't really give a proper judgement since I've never used a pair myself. 

I was considering those, after shipping, taxes and duty it's about the same price as the o2 + odac combo. The main thing that worried me about the stack, is that it's harder to move two units over one when I'm switching between my laptop and desktop. Another thing, if I end up going for...

I know the dangers of having "fun" headphones, I was looking for a pair that could do all genres well while still keeping the music fun and alive. I might just be a speaker person haha, when I got my first set I was shocked at how the music felt so much more alive compared to  my old earbuds...

Would you say the HD 600s are a safe pair to start at? I'm not so much scared of the 'veil' as I am scared of finding them boring. I really want to find that one pair that gives me that "wow" factor that will keep me happy for a while. I never really got that when I had my M50x's or my friend's...

I've checked out BuySonic before, it's not much better than buying from amazon after including shipping, tax and duty costs. Thanks for the suggestion though    As a beginner/noob to the audiophile world, I feel like I'm more inclined towards more "fun" sounding headphones over analytical...

I've heard that the AKG headphones are more analytical and may sound a bit "boring." I've never completely understood what exactly a "warm" sound is, what genres would a "warmer" sound affect?   Thanks to everyone for the help so far :D

The HD 600's are $499 on amazon while the 650's are $479.. should I just get the 650's instead since they're $20 cheaper?

Thanks for your insight. I've just been scared of buying a pair of headphones that I don't like, and end up regretting it later. I'm not trying to make these my "last" headphones, I am really just aiming for a pair that will keep me happy for a long time until I can afford more in the future ...

I was thinking about that, but the used market mainly has stuff from the US, and it'll end up being quite costly if I'm constantly shipping stuff.       Ahh I forgot to include the budget! I was going to say that my budget on the headphones will be ~$400 CAD, I'm willing to spend more if...

I've been going back and forth between different headphones for a month already... it's like I'm stuck in a loop! I find a pair of headphones, only to talk myself out of it after a lot of contemplation. There aren't really any places where I live where I can try on all the different headphones...

Thanks for the info everyone , honestly wasn't expecting this many replies. I haven't actually ordered them (AD900x) yet (curiosity led me to do more looking around). I'm still kind of curious on how the AD900x do in genres like EDM or rap, I do mainly listen to rock, but I like to mix it up and...

Haha I guess you're right about that.. Thanks again! :)

  Thanks a ton for the advice! I'm gonna go with the AD900x now. Any comments on the comfort of the two headphones though?

I was considering the DT 990 Pro version (250 Ohms) and yeah I was planning on getting an amp in the future. I wasn't really looking for a specific signature, just one where the mids aren't overly recessed and the bass takes over.     Thanks a lot for your post, it's been really helpful! I...

Hi all! I've been looking lurking around different sites doing A LOT of research recently on different headphones and I've hit the point where I'm left with two choices. The DT 990 Pro (on sale at adorama) and the AD900x (~$180 CAD). From what I've read, these two headphones seem to fit the bill...

  Hmm... Would you know any other headphones like these? I guess you can say I've been looking for headphones with a wider sound stage and a more livelier sound.

Would the 250 ohm be a massive difference? I was planning on buying an amp in the future for home use. 

Thanks for the info . I think I'm going to up my budget so that it's ~$250 CAD haha. BTW, would you happen to know anything about the DT770? I've been reading some pretty nice reviews on those. I've also considered getting open-backed headphones if they don't leak as much as people say they do.

Is there any big difference between the HP100 and the HP 150?   The AKG K550 is a bit out of my price range, but I'll definitely consider it

Hi everyone, looking for a pair of closed headphone (preferably with a removable cable) for around $200 CAD. Comfort is huge as it was an issue with my last pair of headphones (M50x). I'm also looking for clarity, powerful vocals, controlled bass, and a wide sound stage (I'm a beginner so please...

I got mine for $175 CAD which is about $140 USD. I was looking at the a900x too, until I saw that it was like $340 CAD haha

Haha I saw it earlier, I didn't want to steal your thread though. The headphones you listed were a bit out of my price range, especially since I'm from Canada. Starting to wonder if I should just bite the bullet and spend a bit more...

I've got the blue M50x's, I'll definitely consider this option if I can't find any alternatives and still find them uncomfortable in a week or so.   Quote: Haha I actually might've gone for those if it wasn't way out of my budget.   I've been using them for a few days and stretching...

I can't really change the ear pads on the m50x without messing up the colour scheme and making them look a little weird :(. Also, they have a V-shaped sound signature.
