Sennheiser Momentum's might be worth a look.

I'm "a Gaming Guru"   I do play many video games and talk about them with my friends, but that's just one of the many mediums i'm interested in.   I think the quiz needed more variety. all it had was tech, music, literature, film and a few others. it was also a little vague since what you...

Nice.

Probably depends on what you are listening to.   I found the velour pads to be much better than the pleather.

It depends on how efficient the headphone is.    Most headphones above 200 need an amp to sound their best, but some like the Sennheiser Momentum don't need one at all.    This is a good place to start if you are new to headphone...

no, i know. it says so on the subscription page.     I really don't know for sure since i have never listened to the Customs or the Grados, but i would say compare them when you get them and if they don't give you a big improvement return them and save up for the SR325i or something like it.

I think any of the headphones you listed will be better than the DT 770, even without an amp.

From what i read the Grado headphones are mainly great for rock music and are decent for most other types of music.   If all you listen to is rock then they would probably be a good choice.   If you don't listen to rock then there are better options at the 300 price point.    but i'm sure...

+1, make sure you get velour pads though.

What headphones are you going to use with them?

Either way i think the problem is that the OP wants more bass.

Your probably not going to get a big improvement over the Custom one pros with a headphone under 200USD.    You would be better off saving for something in the 300 to 400USD price range for any large improvement. 

I would say get the Fostex TH-600 or 900.    The new Sennheiser HD8 DJ looks like its pretty good too. 

For your taste in music i would say the Fostex TH-600 is probably a good choice.   You would probably need an amp and DAC for them, but i don't really know which ones would be best. try looking at a TH-600 thread.   Another option is to wait for Hifiman to start selling their new models (the...

I think the problem isn't the headphone.   The problem is that you want a warm bass heavy sound, and the Momentum is a neutral headphone.   If you don't like the sound signature than you should return them and look for a pair that has more bass; like maybe a V-Moda M100.

As long as the cable functions then it shouldn't matter how well it stays in, that is to say as long as it isn't falling out of the socket. 

I thought the treble was a little sharp when i was using the stock pads, but when i got the velour it made the headphones much better in terms of balance and reduction of treble energy.    Now i have no problem with the treble even when comparing it to the Mad Dogs.

I have both the Mad Dogs and the HE-400.   Both sound better with an amp, but i would say the HE-400 needs it a little less.   The HE-400 is better in terms of detail, soundstage, and instrument separation, but the Mad Dogs have a much smoother richer sound due to their great mids. in terms...

Is that Gojira, as in the Japanese name for Godzilla, or a random band name?

I think i saw some Shure SE315s on a guy today, but i only got to see them for a split second. 

All i listen to is soundtracks and anything by Joe Hisaishi lol. Yeah i knew that there where two composer for the ICO soundtrack, but i didn't know which songs belong to which person.   I was thinking of getting the Ghost in the Shell 2 ost but opted for the first one instead since i...

Just got some new soundtracks:   The soundtrack from the game ICO by Michiro Oshima.   The Joe Hisaishi Meets Kitano Films collection by Joe Hisaishi.   The soundtrack from Hayao Miyazaki's film Castle in the Sky by Joe Hisaishi (Japanese version).   And the original Ghost in the Shell...
