I recently tried out the AKG 501's and they were everything that everybody here said: great soundstage, great detail, great mid to high range sound, great comfort, laid back sound, and lean bass.
The K501's might be the perfect cans for some people, but not for me. I don't know if I'm a "basshead," but I like the bass response I get from the Sony 7506 and the Senn 590. I think I might be satisfied with less bass than either of those headphones, but I need more than the k501 offers in that area.
So, taking this into consideration, I have been looking at the Beyer dt880's, and it looks like they share a lot of the characteristics I like about the K501's. However, some people say that the bass response is light, and other people say it is good.
How does the dt880 compare to the K501? In particular, I am interested in a comparison of the bass response. Will these cans satisfy me, or will I find them lacking in the low end of the sound spectrum?
