500+ Head-Fier
Ok, so what is the best all around open headphone under $250? I listen to all music other than heavy metal and screamo. you can see the amps I have in my signature.
DT880 600ohm
The O2 will swing it.
I derno having the HD650 kind of spoils everything else around the price range though.
Go for the Sennheiser HD598.
If you can stretch your budget out to $300, you can get the HD600...
They retail for $400 but there is currently a deal on them at razordogdeals ebay page where you can offer them $300 for the 600s or probably quite a bit less on the 598 as well, I believe it's $50.
You have a FiiO. I recommend the AKG Q701. Perfect headphones.

I have to disagree. Both the Q701 and HD 598 are excellent all arrounders--even for gamers. Both are also excellent cans. Between the two, I prefer the Q701 due to its clarity. However, the Q701 is not the best choice for those looking for slam or prominent bass. The HD 598 will be your choice if you are looking for a slightly veiled, smooth as velvet and a more forgiving can.
