I have very recently been wanting to delve more into the world of high-end audio products. My real first taste was when I got the Klipsch HD Theater 600 home theater system. Since then I have wanted to expand my arsenal of high-end (some may think the HD Theater 600 set is low-end, but it's amazing for me) headphones/ speakers. I prefer a slightly more warm sound signature, and I also like headphones with a balanced sound, with lots of bass depth. I am open to all suggestions! Thank you for any and all feedback!

Are you looking for closed or open style headphones? Closed provide isolation and do not leak sound, while open headphones tend to sound a bit more spacious.

Whoops, sorry about that. I would prefer open-backed headphones. Let me know if there is anything else unclear, and I'll do my best to clarify.

What gears do u listen from?

 

[billybob_jcv]

I would probably be looking at the Sennheiser HD598 or HD558.

I have been considering the Sennheiser 598s, they seem to be a very good headphone for the money.

What would be the differences between the Sennheiser HD 598s and the AKG Q701? Would they even compare?

 

[billybob_jcv]

I haven't heard the Q701 - Sorry. I briefly heard the K701 and I remember liking it, but I don't remember why...

HD598 should be more forgivig of poorly recorded material and much easier to drive. Sennheisers should provide a warm and smooth presentation while AKGs are more on the analytical side.

Sennheiser HD558, great for the price.

I own the 598's, and though they are great the last thing i would call them is "warm". depending on the DAC and amp it changes a lot, my ears like them with a wolfson dac and a beefy amp does help the bottom ends authority but if you drive them hard they can break up.  If the Fulla does what Ive heard from a few people the 598-fulla combo would be nice.
