New Head-Fier
Prices in my country Serbia for Dt 880,560s and Hd 599 all of them are 220 dollars and Dt 900 Pro x is 290 dollars.
So these are the best open backs you can get in this budget.
Current headphones I have are Isk Hf2010( brother of takstar hi2050) Audio Technica M30x, Fostex Tr 80,Sony Wh1000 Xm3,and from Iems Sony ex110 apb and CCA Csn.
Source Zen Dac V2
What will usage be like, Listening to Rock bands like Seether, Disturbed, Skillet,Like a storm,Papa Roach,Thousand Foot Krutch, Ashes Remain and so on Also I listen to Serbian Rap and House/Big Room Artist like Afrojack,Hardwell, R3hab,Sick Individuals,Danic,W&W, Bassjackers,Blasterjaxx I also play Arpgs,beat emps and aloot of other stuff ,also watch anime and Yt and so on.
Preffered sound signature I would describe in parts.
Treble I am not sensitive to higher treble amount.
I like when headphones can resolve as much detail as possible, I like extended treble with a bit of air and energy but not to the point of sounding metalic that is why is Eq Isk hf2010 in 4khz to 6khz range when I want best of them.
Midrange I like when guitar and similar instruments, are a bit upfront and not too distant sounding, I like either more delicate and resolving vocals like M30x or neutral like Fostex tr80.
Too reccesed vocals are deal breaker.
Bass I like when there is enough midbass, to give headphones the body when song calls for it.
But I dislike too bloated bass to the point of not being able to recall individual notes that is why I for example tone down Xm3-s range from 150 hz and boost sub bass from 40 or 60 hz.
I would dislike headphones with absolute hole in the bass area to the point of being anemic.Faster more dynamic bass would be top. Still Zen dac has that boost which is bonkers I am also not shy from Eq in general.
Soundstage is not that important, but the more wide the better since the nature of open back. But imaging and separation are really important since I like to listen to sepparate layers in music when I am not in mood for really casual and just enjoy the ride sessions.
.
Which headphones from candidates would you pick in my case, I am leaning towards Dt 880 because from what I gathered over years it is supposed to be most uncompromising from all of them(from list) and I like that as opposite to stories I heard from people calling most Sennheiser headphones as too smoothened out or too chill or even veiled I would dislike that aloot.
