I would in your case suggest the dt880. But there is another interesting option. Sound Magic 150 or 200. One open back, another closed. Build quality is okish, everything else top notch. Also do consider the hifi man's. All of the models mentioned will need really good amping, sound magic...

Quote: am looking for an definitive ans to this 1 since quiet some time now. Here @ india, auditioning is a prob cause there r no demos and we need to get stuff shipped in. Cant make a wrong purchase and need to strictly go by reviews and personal comments  

  Quote: Well i do have an E7, but was just wondering if i wanna run the same cans via various sources, aka, direct out of my pmp, or via the e7, or pc or even my yamaha avr, in that case considering all is the D-2000/HFi 780 a better bet or would u still go by the dt990 recommendation?

just a query..   For fun sounding cans with good soundstage, deep bass and a bit of everything(not lacking in mids, treble etc), of the above which seems like a better choice.. DT 990 32ohms, denon d-2000, hfi 580 or hfi 780??

Ah i guess its down to auditioning whatever i can find my hands on and making my choice.   I had read a lot of good things abt the 780's and the beyer dt 770/990 on head-fi, hence my constant rambling. Also Auditioning a beyer here in India wont be possible since there is no presence of it here.

Well so thats kinda my query. Considering i dont wanna buy an amp at the moment, what would ya prefer in terms of my SS likes. The D2000, ad900, dt-770 ultrasone 780 or any other..

Guys any inputs on the last question???

Hmm, yea d d-2000 seems like the obvious choice though i was hoping for better sound-stage.   how would the ATH-900/ad 900 or the ultrasone 780 compare to the D-2000 for me keeping all the other factors in mind??   I have heard the sony xb-700. To me it was all bass and lacking...

ummm id hope for a can thats good in terms of midrange treble soundstage etc and has more focus towards bass without sacrificing the other areas. Ive heard the xb and i feel it lacks in other area.    SS or similar SS with better bass impact seems to be idle for me. Its got its treble spark...

Think i should add here, that i do own a senn 485, 555 and a s4 and ue trifi 10. I love the ue10 SS but i have a fit issue and hence am considering cans with probably similar sound sig but more bass impact and good detailing. The 485's have ample bass but its muddy and not tight. I dont wanna...

D2000 is on my list of probables and have heard them before. But i was hoping for better bass quality and overall soundstage. 

Thanks for ur replies guys. In that case, if i am to consider a mid level sub 300$ bassy can which can be easily driven and non analytical fun sounding(by easy i also mean by the likes of a e7), what r my best options out there???    

anyone   ''?????

Hi, Have been considering buying new headphones since quiet some time. My headphones selection will be based on auditioning cans and then ill make the final call. I have though narrowed down my choice to the beyer 770/880/990's, Denon d-2000, ultrasone 780 or any other fun sounding bassy...

Gotcha, thanks man

So is it safe to assume that the 780 score higher than the d-2000's for movies and for music.  Forgot to mention, in music my genres are generally Hip-hop, bollywood and rock.   Also is the e7 enough to run th 780's???

Yea but is it really that good and how does it stand say in comparision to a d2000?  

Alright guys, creating this thread cause i couldnt find a convincing answer from any of my r&d.   Wanted a pair of cans for myself for Music as well as movies. My source will range from my trusted S9, e7 connected to the pc or even via my yamaha amplifier for my ht. I like a bit of bass...

hey thanks for the review.. helped me to be even more sure about these being my next purchase for music...
