If the graphs are accurate then the HD600 might be what you are looking for.    

Quote: AD900 looks much better than the AD700 in bass extension and upper mids/lower treble. It also doesn't have that nasty spike at 10 khz. Still bass looks relatively weak and rolled off compared to the mids/highs.  Hd598 looks good until sub bass.

Quote: Interesting. Still not sure about using them with mp3 player and I don't think I would want both of them. 

I'm curious about the 250 ohm version but don't really feel the need to get it since I am more than happy with the 80 ohm version.  I also only have an Essence STX and an mp3 player and I don't think they would be good enough for the 250 ohm version. Has anyone compared the HD598 to the DT250...

Beyerdynamic DT250 might be one to look for.  

Another vote for the MS-1.  

I'd recommend the Beyerdynamic DT250 if looking for something easier to drive and more balanced than the DT770. The Shures are good too.

Its not bad but for close to the same price you can get better.  No midbass hump and lack of sub bass make them sound thin and weak with a lot of stuff. MS-1 or DT440 are better and can be bought around the same price.

  Quote:   Neither the AD700 and AD900 are not known for there bass. AD900 is a bit better in this regard though.  Something like the Beyerdynamic DT440 would be better suited sounding better than the MS-1 and AD700 imo. Soundstage isn't as large as the Audio Technicas but they have a...

The M50s don't lack bass. Its boosted over all the other frequencies so saying you don't want to get used to the lack of bass means to me you want something really bassy. The sony xb500/700  or q40 get recommended here for that. Personally more bass isn't indicative of better sound quality but...

Quote: The bass is slightly boosted on the 80 ohm version and treble is rolled off a bit more compared to the 250 ohm from what I have read on here.  On Headphonic people claim they sound the same and the difference in sound is due to how amps handle different impendences which could be...

Beyer DT440 or MS-1. AD900 might be ok too if you don't mind less bass than the HD598.

Has anybody hear heard the AD900 or DT440 and HD598. Im looking for an open phone that is more or less on the same level as them but with a better balanced response (more bass than the AD900 and less treble than the DT440).  Something along the lines of an open DT250 is what im after.

Open: DT440, HD598, or AD900 (though theses are a bit light on bass) Closed: DT250 (80 ohm version is probably easier to drive if only using the Cowon. Treble is a bit laid back)

Quote: The graphs make me want to try the 250 ohm version but I do not have an amp which is why I went with the 80 ohm version when I bought it. I kind of agree the DT440 are a bit bright but I still like them more then the MS-1, HD555 and AD700 so they are my open can of choice at the...
