I own a pair. They're nice headhones, incredibly comfortable. The sound on them is pretty impressive. The bass goes deep and extends really well. The mids and highs are slightly recessed and the highs definitely roll off at the upper end, I don't feel like anything is emphasized at all. It's a...

I'm leaning pretty heavily on pulling the trigger the more I read about these. And a used pair on Amazon for $180 is pretty tempting.

So, I'd need to get the 250ohm version? And I don't have facial hair or wear glasses, so that shouldn't be a problem. My main concern is how they'll sound with my music. I'm not really a basshead, and I prefer my vocals to be right up front with impact, which goes well with the genre of music...

Amazon has the dt770 pro 80 at $179 right now. $135 used. I have an e7, so I'm sure I can drive that well enough. Wouldn't the K550s sound better than the dt770s though.

I'm not sure I would want the 880s, primarily because I don't have an amp that can drive them to their full potential. If there's a combo out there that I can get the 880s and a decent amp for ~$200, let me know though.

Hi again, I'm still researching this. I think I'm going to add the K550s to this list. Just curious as to them being a good fit for the type of music I listen to.

Might I suggest the Sennheiser HD 428? It's a good headphone in the sub-$100 range. Everything's fairly balanced across the board. The bass extends low and sounds tight and controlled across the board, not really bloated or overpowering. The mids separate really well, with an emphasis on vocals...

If you wear your IEMs over your ear, it completely cuts out the microphonics. You could try a pair MEElectronics M6s. Good budget IEM with a good sound for the price. Otherwise, I would opt for a pair of M30s, or maybe Sony's MDR-V6 for just a bit more than your budget.

Hey all, made an account years ago when I first was interested in the hobby and bought a pair of S4s (see avatar). Now, I've progressed much further with my collection, but am still skirting that mid-tier level as far as cans go. I own a pair of HD428s and a Grado SR80, but have really wanted...

I use my pair of Westone 1s, they seal really well and block outside noise exceptionally well. Plus their compact shape helps me if I feel like leaning my head against something for a prolonged length of time.
