The general consensus seems to be that the P7s are the better can in terms of comfort and Sq. However, if the Momentum were to be $200 vs $400 would you still go that route?

Holy!?!?!?!   How'd you manage that price? That's amazing.

  I'm curious as to what price would be deemed quite fair for the HD700.   Can I ask what amp you're using with this?

Anyone try the Vali with the HD700? I've searched a bit but haven't found much info. I was thinking the Vali's warmth could help balance out the HD700? Although someone said it wouldn't pair well with the 598 so since the 700s have a similar sound, I'm wondering if that wouldn't work either?  ...

Thanks. I have no problem springing for the HD650 at a later point. Although I'm now trying to investigate a portable full sized closed can under $400 that would perhaps provide a different signature. That may suffice for now in place of the 650.

Thanks for that input.   If I can ask, if you had the choice would you prefer to have both the HD598 and HD650 for diff signatures or just the HD700?

Can I please ask if you would recommend the HD700 after coming from an HD598 and enjoying the soundstage and clarity aspects of those cans?   FYI, I'm also looking at the HD650 and Beyer T90. (wasn't a fan of the comfort of the HiFiMan unfortunately)   For more info about my prefs, what I'm...

Thanks for clarifying that. I really wish/hope I can test the T90 first, but there are some available now for around $400. Is it worth grabbing them at that price or is that price fairly normal/stable? (I'll be in the U.S. in June so I can't test until then unless I buy blind)

Hmm. This is a tough one. I listen to lots of classical and jazz at home, but also lots of vocals and rock (NIN, Radiohead, The National, Air, etc).   I may be a noob, but wouldn't something with clarity and speed be good for jazz, classical and instrumental?

Thanks, I appreciate your input. Not sure if this helps, but when I really enjoyed the HD800 (obviously :) ) and the HD700 in terms of clarity and soundstage. Perhaps I'm too accustomed to the HD598 that I have. I would, however, prefer a more full and developed sound (perhaps more in the low...

How does the T90 compare to the Sennheiser HD-650?   I've been looking at a few options (HE-500, HE-400i, HD 650, HD 700), but am also now checking out these T90s. I have found very little info/comparisons between them, so any personal opinions are welcome. I posted more info here about what...

I asked a very thorough question previously (see here); but with no answers, perhaps I should shorten things up? Does the poll help?   Cheers from Asia

Was my question too long? Should I have separated the closed and open questions?

Hi everyone,   Long time stalker, first time posting.   I'm looking for some advice for a few diff options please for both open and closed cans, both full sized, over ear. Apologize for noob terminology - still learning. Found this posting format sensible (with the required info from reddit...
