Still can't decide what to buy out of 580\6x0 or 880\990...
Additional criteria now.

Low volume listening with very good bass responce is why I do like my DT-990('05e)...
However, I do tend to shy away from recommending them with less than average source and its recorded material. However, if those requisites are covered, IMO, then they can be a very satisifying choice and perhaps a serious consideration for you ;-}

I do love mine.

Hope this helps with your decision, good luck~

My favorite at low volumes so far is the Ultrasone Proline 2500. It's the first can I've heard where the drums don't get lost at low volume.

I think generally speaking, headphones with a V curve tend to sound their best (or most neutral) at low volumes. Some Grados have colouration on the low and high ends, which makes them enormously enjoyable at low volumes.

The nice side-effect is at higher volumes, the spikes add that extra bit of slam to really rock out.

A900 is pretty good at low volume.

 

[Duggeh]

GS1000 is supposed to be the low volume king.

 

[Icarium]

Qualias and L3000s are supposed to be good at low volume listening with Qualias being the best. Out of the cans you listed, no idea.

I think all the Grados are low volume kings unamped

Anything Grado


I find any headphones with a recessed midrange to be poor for low volume listening.

I think Sennheisers would be the last choice in low volume listening.

Which isn't to say you need ear damaging loudness to enjoy them.

I have found my Grado GS1000 quite good at low volumes.

 

[krmathis]

I think the Omega II play nicely at low listening volumes.

I would also say grado, it still keeps the intensity (not as much as when loud obviously) at low volume and sounds fun as hell
