I was 100% sure about the 2500's being my next purchase, but then the "650 or K701 for first open can"-thread came along and raised a bit of doubt + I read this about the 2500's in another thread;
"I literally almost laughed out loud because these cans suck the sustain off of everything I played. The notes all started like they should, but ended abruptly. It's like when a drummer hits a cymbal and rather than letting it ring and allowing tone to change as it slowly fades away, he strikes the cymbal and grabs it soon afterwards. The difference is that drastic."
Is that really an accurate description..? Doesn't sound too promising.. :/
I will mainly use the cans for mixing (but also for just enjoying music, of course. 70% mixing, 30% enjoying music) so I wan't detailed & accurate over smooth & lush (which I kinda feel my 650's are).
I've read many who think the K701's sound thin & are lacking bass extension.. and though I'm not a bass head, I need to know how much bass I'm putting in my mixes.
I'm gonna do the purchase this coming week, so lets hear your arguments. =)
