    Recommend me a pair of headphones in the < $300 range

    Think I'll go with the 250ohm version paired with the Magni and the UCA202 that I've already got for now and then pick up the Modi at a later date. That way I can dedicate the $100 I'll save on some decent portable cans so I can stop wearing IEMs entirely outside of the gym.   Thanks a lot...

    Recommend me a pair of headphones in the < $300 range

    Seems like the DT880 is the best choice for me, but that still leaves the question of what version I should get. I've heard the 600ohm version is the best if you've got an amp. Does that ring true?   Also, since you seem to have a considerable amount of experience with the DT880s, what...

    Recommend me a pair of headphones in the < $300 range

    Yeah, that's what I meant. They probably called it bad because they didn't like it, rather than it actually being poor. I'm not really sure how that'd affect me, considering that I've never noticed soundstaging with either of the cans I've owned.   How's the soundstage with the DT880s?

    Recommend me a pair of headphones in the < $300 range

    DT880s are currently my runner up, but they seem to have a significant spike in the highs that lead to user discomfort in some cases. I plan on using as transparent an AMP and DAC as I can get for my money so those won't fix it if it's actually an issue. Has that been your experience, or are the...

    Recommend me a pair of headphones in the < $300 range

    After looking at all the headphones you listed, I find I'm still leaning towards the Q701s.   Obviously they'll need an amp, but are there any glaring issues in the sound quality? For instance, I've heard the occasional gripe about the soundstage being bad or just strange; is that the case in...

    Recommend me a pair of headphones in the < $300 range

    Thanks MalVeauX.   Taking a look at all of those headphones now, since I hadn't heard of or hadn't considered quite a few of them. Hopefully the cans I'm looking for are among them. Right now I'm leaning towards the Q701s but the AD900X and HE-300 interest me since both manufacturers have...

    Recommend me a pair of headphones in the < $300 range

    So I'm looking to upgrade to a pair of headphones in the $0-$300 range. I'm not really on a strict budget, mind you, I just feel that above $300 and especially past $500 lies the realm of diminishing returns for me, I'd go higher than the $300 mark but not unless there are large performance...

    Rank the Headphones that You Own.

    In order of how many hours I typically use them a day:   1. Beyerdynamic DT770 80ohm (Use them primarily because of their comfort and build quality. No longer a fan of their sound signature.) 2. Astrotec AM-90 (Not a fan of the mids on these, but everything else is just fantastic including...
