Ok so I have been wondering about this recently. What is better to have like a HD800 or to use the same amount of money to buy 3 or 4 2nd tier headphones like: HD650, DT880, ATH-AD2000, Pro 900 etc etc. In 1 sense it seems stupid to me to own so many headphones because they really overlap so much and really 1 good headphone should be enough and any additional headphones will have severely reduced utility. But then I think how much better is the big boys over the little brothers. Is the HD800 really 5 times better than the HD650 etc etc. So what do you guys think is the better system 1 killer headphone or 3 lesser headphones? If you had to choose 3 headphones each under $500 what would they be, would you try and get headphones which sound very different? Do you think certain headphones sound better for certain genres of music or is that all just hype?
