Love my 770s.
A really fun headphone for games, music, and movie watching.
What would be another high-quality headphone that would be a nice compliment to the 770s? What I mean is a headphone that excels in areas that the 770s do not, and perhaps might not be as strong in areas that the 770s are. For example, is there a headphone out there that has improved mid-range over the 770s with perhaps slightly tighter and less upfront bass?
Musically speaking, the 770s really kick ass on any kind of music that has a strong driving bass line. Is there another headphone in the price range that perhaps excels at lighter classical music and lighter jazz?
The recommendation can be for an open or closed can. If there is ambient noise that I need to block out, I can always turn to the 770s. The recommendation can include cans that cost up to USD $250 or less. I don't think I am sophisticated enough to appreciate the subtle differences or improvements of anything that cost much more.
Would the 880s be the compliment? HD595? What could it be?
If you would, please make comments and comparisons relative to the 770s. They are the only decent cans I have ever owned, and therefore, they are my best point of reference. If anyone talks about stuff like the "Sennheiser veil" or "Grados' small soundstage," I won't know what you are talking about. But if you say something like, "Slightly less forward bass than your 770s but with clearer, more upfront mids," I'll be cooking with Crisco!
