Whoops, I did mean contrast. Thanks for that, I've fixed it up.   Hm okay. Well I am going to test out some headphones later this week, I'm really heavily leaning towards the K712 (can't test the K7XX and the price difference is negligible). Perhaps I will get both the X2 and the K712.  ...

Does anybody have an opinion on which two headphones contrast nicely to provide good coverage?

  The 7XX works out to be the same price as the K712 after shipping. Based on what I have read the K712 would be a better bet.       Honestly a wide variety of music, it's difficult to name a few. So a headphone which covers a broad amount of genres, or two that cover a lot.   Would...

  Thanks mate.   Would you say besides the detail the X2 is much better than the DT990 overall? I'm trying to decide what to do with them if I change. I want to return them and get an X2 as a replacement and my girlfriend could use them but she says she likes the DT990s.   How does the bass...

Thanks for the response.   Do you think they are significantly different to warrant getting both or would a HD600 provide a better alternative.   I know all this stuff is subjective, so it's difficult for you to provide me with an answer but I do really appreciate it.

Could somebody tell me how different the sound signature is on these compared to the Philips Fidelio X2s?   Just getting into this scene now.   I recently picked up some 990 Pro 250 ohms and kind of having buyers remorse. I lost the cardboard frame in the box so I can't return them for a...
