100+ Head-Fier
Okay, I like these headphones a lot. Comfy as hell, doesn't really heat up my ears or make them sweat, sounds great, etc. The only thing I don't like (and I mean this in the lightest way possible) about these headphones are the highs. Well, I LOVE them because everything just sounds so detailed... I can hear everything (I think!) but sometimes the really upper ends are too much for my ears. I just EQ the highest bar/slider down a bit (still sounds pretty damn good). I like the bass too because it doesn't seem overwhelming at all. It just seems right (bad way to say it, I know). It's the perfect amount for me I guess.
However, is there anything better...? Or am I at the point where the price doesn't really justify the difference in sound? I'm pretty thirsty for more. I can do both closed and open headphones. I want to stay on the flatter end, but I don't really care as long as it can play all kinds of music with lots of detail. I listen to anything and everything... electronic, acoustic, etc...
I spent $175 on the DT990 Pro's, but I'm willing to go higher. Thank you all!
History of my headphones if it helps in any way:
If it helps, I am using the Voodoo DAC/Amp mod with my Samsung Infuse phone (Wolfson chip) which is more than enough to drive the 250 ohm DT 990 Pro.

History of my headphones if it helps in any way:
- ATH-M50. Loved them but so damn uncomfortable. Driver was touching my ear and I couldn't wear it for more than an hour.
- MDR-V6. Everything (but anything with vocals/acoustics) sounded dead. But, those vocals (especially females) are some of the best I have ever heard from any headphone in my life. They give me shivers!
- FA-003. I like them but the pads felt so weird to me.
- TMA-1. Really nice for electronic/minimal music. Absolutely horrendous for anything else... instruments feel like they are in one place and sounds so unclear/muddy... maybe it's because they're darker headphones? I don't know... >.<
- DT 990 Pro (250 ohms): Currently what I have.
