Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
Thanks for the suggestion. I've already looked up impressions and reviews for those, I'm going to give the HD 600s a try first though.- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
I see, thanks for the tip. I was curious about the HiFiMan headphones, but they're definitely an upgrade for another day. That's just from what I read and heard so far, I can't really give a proper judgement since I've never used a pair myself.- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
I was considering those, after shipping, taxes and duty it's about the same price as the o2 + odac combo. The main thing that worried me about the stack, is that it's harder to move two units over one when I'm switching between my laptop and desktop. Another thing, if I end up going for...- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
I know the dangers of having "fun" headphones, I was looking for a pair that could do all genres well while still keeping the music fun and alive. I might just be a speaker person haha, when I got my first set I was shocked at how the music felt so much more alive compared to my old earbuds...- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
Would you say the HD 600s are a safe pair to start at? I'm not so much scared of the 'veil' as I am scared of finding them boring. I really want to find that one pair that gives me that "wow" factor that will keep me happy for a while. I never really got that when I had my M50x's or my friend's...- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
I've checked out BuySonic before, it's not much better than buying from amazon after including shipping, tax and duty costs. Thanks for the suggestion though As a beginner/noob to the audiophile world, I feel like I'm more inclined towards more "fun" sounding headphones over analytical...- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
I've heard that the AKG headphones are more analytical and may sound a bit "boring." I've never completely understood what exactly a "warm" sound is, what genres would a "warmer" sound affect? Thanks to everyone for the help so far :D- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
The HD 600's are $499 on amazon while the 650's are $479.. should I just get the 650's instead since they're $20 cheaper?- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
Thanks for your insight. I've just been scared of buying a pair of headphones that I don't like, and end up regretting it later. I'm not trying to make these my "last" headphones, I am really just aiming for a pair that will keep me happy for a long time until I can afford more in the future ...- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
I was thinking about that, but the used market mainly has stuff from the US, and it'll end up being quite costly if I'm constantly shipping stuff. Ahh I forgot to include the budget! I was going to say that my budget on the headphones will be ~$400 CAD, I'm willing to spend more if...- C x 2

Stuck in my search for the "One to rule them all"
I've been going back and forth between different headphones for a month already... it's like I'm stuck in a loop! I find a pair of headphones, only to talk myself out of it after a lot of contemplation. There aren't really any places where I live where I can try on all the different headphones...- C x 2

DT 990 PRO vs AD900x
Thanks for the info everyone , honestly wasn't expecting this many replies. I haven't actually ordered them (AD900x) yet (curiosity led me to do more looking around). I'm still kind of curious on how the AD900x do in genres like EDM or rap, I do mainly listen to rock, but I like to mix it up and...- C x 2

DT 990 PRO vs AD900x
I was considering the DT 990 Pro version (250 Ohms) and yeah I was planning on getting an amp in the future. I wasn't really looking for a specific signature, just one where the mids aren't overly recessed and the bass takes over. Thanks a lot for your post, it's been really helpful! I...- C x 2

DT 990 PRO vs AD900x
Hi all! I've been looking lurking around different sites doing A LOT of research recently on different headphones and I've hit the point where I'm left with two choices. The DT 990 Pro (on sale at adorama) and the AD900x (~$180 CAD). From what I've read, these two headphones seem to fit the bill...- C x 2

Headphones around $200 CAD
Hmm... Would you know any other headphones like these? I guess you can say I've been looking for headphones with a wider sound stage and a more livelier sound.- C x 2

Would the 250 ohm be a massive difference? I was planning on buying an amp in the future for home use.- C x 2

Headphones around $200 CAD
Thanks for the info . I think I'm going to up my budget so that it's ~$250 CAD haha. BTW, would you happen to know anything about the DT770? I've been reading some pretty nice reviews on those. I've also considered getting open-backed headphones if they don't leak as much as people say they do.- C x 2

Headphones around $200 CAD
Is there any big difference between the HP100 and the HP 150? The AKG K550 is a bit out of my price range, but I'll definitely consider it- C x 2

Headphones around $200 CAD
Hi everyone, looking for a pair of closed headphone (preferably with a removable cable) for around $200 CAD. Comfort is huge as it was an issue with my last pair of headphones (M50x). I'm also looking for clarity, powerful vocals, controlled bass, and a wide sound stage (I'm a beginner so please...- C x 2

Haha I saw it earlier, I didn't want to steal your thread though. The headphones you listed were a bit out of my price range, especially since I'm from Canada. Starting to wonder if I should just bite the bullet and spend a bit more...- C x 2

Finding the M50x really uncomfortable... Any suggestions?
I've got the blue M50x's, I'll definitely consider this option if I can't find any alternatives and still find them uncomfortable in a week or so. Quote: Haha I actually might've gone for those if it wasn't way out of my budget. I've been using them for a few days and stretching...- C x 2

I can't really change the ear pads on the m50x without messing up the colour scheme and making them look a little weird :(. Also, they have a V-shaped sound signature.- C x 2
