I'm looking to try a bunch of different phones so I can minimize shipping costs, but I haven't found any place in Boston or Providence that has anything decent. Anyone know of anywhere? Guitar Center only carries the DT770, and that's the highest end audio store I know of around here.- roethlar

I love my K701s. The low end is clean and detailed but not boomy, and that suits me fine.- roethlar

New can decision: D2000, DT-990, K701
Yeah, I have the 990s and the K701s, and neither would be good for what you want. I'd give a slight edge to the 990s for bass, but the highs really are fatiguing, as said here. Though, if you want to try the 990s, my ebay auction ends soon and they're hovering around $150.. see the sig.- roethlar

Auzen Prelude - Analog or Digital?
Well, there are a couple of things to consider. First, going digital and using the dolby or dts encoder means the logitech is doing the decoding. So, if you're watching a DVD or movie with a dolby or dts track, the PC has to decode that then re-encode it and send it to the logitech which decodes...- roethlar

Bdynamic dt 770 or HD595
I bought mine at GC and the guy let me try a pair first, but he was snotty about it. All in all, I prefer not to shop at that place as every person I've dealt with there lacks good customer service skills.- roethlar

Bdynamic dt 770 or HD595
DT770s are like strapping sub woofers to your head. This isn't necessarily a good or bad thing, just how it is. The isolation is fantastic, but the mids and highs are a bit recessed. I've not heard the 595s, but if you can DT990s for the same price, you might consider those. I'm selling mine...- roethlar

Amping HD600/HD650.
There's a 650 in the for sale forums for $290 USD, so buy something like that and save the rest for an amp.- roethlar

Help! Looking for absurd, bombastic bass for dubstep/hip hop
Quote: Originally Posted by Riggaberto The 770s are more bassy than the 990s then? I figure I may as well go complete opposite on the Grados. In a word, yes. They are very much the opposite of Grados. I had 325is to compare them to.- roethlar

Beyerdynamic DT-770 or 990, possibly Denon D2000 or 5000. Of those, I've tried both Beyers. The DT770s have way more bass than anyone should need. You'd probably like them.- roethlar

Gregorian chants ONLY out of the left side, while the right plays Wierd Al's Amish Paradise. Obviously make sure that you're starting Amish Paradise at 1:13:02.3 and run it only until 4:27:09.21. Also, the Gregorian Chant has to be by a monk with an aussie accent, or it'll completely ruin the...- roethlar
