+1, I didn't think the M50's were at all that bassy.

I'm no expert at this whole burn in shimmy, but slightly above your comfortable listening volume is the usual response around here.

There are so many conflicting opinions on the e10 with the 990.  Just listen to it yourself for a little while, if you like the way it sounds then stick with it.  But if you really feel like your itching to upgrade, maybe you can give the schiit magni a go.  More than enough to power the Beyers.

The Lyr is pretty powerful.  From what I've gathered; the HE-400 scales with the amp.  The most powerful amp I have is the Asgard, so I can't really offer much personal advice on it, but some of the guys over in the HE-400 thread really like the HE-400 with the Lyr.   If the Lyr offers a...

Found this nice track the other day; http://electronicrumors.com/2013/03/06/mp3-hey-champs-comet/

Hope you enjoy your setup 

The pads are not as comfy as the pads on my dt990 and my q701.

Out of the ones you listed, I would say the Q701 ;)   It fit's everything your looking for imo.

Your gonna get all kinds of opinions here, haha.  Trust me, I lurked around the forums for 2 years before making my account.  It's always better to try things out yourself.  Reading other people opinion will only get you so far.

Looking at the e10 specs now.  Definitely not ideal, though some may disagree.  Perhaps you'd be better off with a more powerful amp like the Magni and just holding off on a dac for now.  The sound of the dt990 properly amped without a dac will sound better than it poorly amped with a dac.  The...

In that case, probably get the e10 since it's an amp/dac in one.  I would say the e9, but it's only an amp.   Try doing a little reasearch on this topic, there are a lot of threads like this that you can find by simply searching google.

You think you could help us out a little more than that?  What are you looking for in your bass, mids, treble, etc.  Do you care for isolation?  Do you own an amp?

Cant speak for the other two, but the dt990 sound right up your ally.  The only thing you may not like about it is the high treble.  I mostly use the dt990/250 for movies and gaming because of that.  As for an amp, whats your budget?

I'd say the 225 or the 325, the 225 if the treble on the 325 is too much for you.  

I'm really considering the he500 over the lcd-2.  I'm not reay to spend that much on a headphone, haha.  I still got a long way to go until then.

I'm thinking about narrowing down my little headphone collection I got going on at home.  Debating on either the he500 or just saving up for an lcd-2.  Super tempted at selling my denons... but I know thats not gonna happen any time soon, .   

hmm, I'm surprised a ittle e17 could pull that off.

The he-400 doesn't seem very picky in amping to me.  It sounds great off my asgard and my m-stage.  I actually enjoy the "warmer" sound of the m-stage at times, so I'm thinking about getting a tube amp to try out too.   Check out the he-400 thread if you haven't alrady.  If the bottle head...

The he-400's are very fun and energetic to my ears.  I own the D5000, and the he-400 come close in bass enjoyment for me.  I'm actually enjoying them more and more so than my denons for edm tracks.    I find female vocals on them to be... pretty good, they are crisp and clear and on some...

If you want sparkle in the treble, the he400 is going to beat the 650 in that department.  The bass on the HE-400 sounds better extended and accurate to me.  Vocals on the he400 sound clear, but there not as pleasing as the vocals on the 650.   So for edm, get the he-400.  It's more exciting...

If you want immersion and good soundstage, I would suggest the dt990.  Great bass and bright treble will give you a very engaging sound while still being more than decent for competitive gaming.  if you don't have an amp, the I recommend the 32 ohm.

Higher end headphones need a lot of power to drive them, which is why there meant for at home listening.  I don't know of any portable amps that can properly power a pair of HE-6 or an HD-800.   You typically need a big and poweful amp plugged into a wall outlet to do the job.  People generally...
