Price Range: <= $400
Amp: Matrix M-Stage
DAC: Dacmagic
I currently have a pair of Q701s which I adore but I've noticed that the bass is a bit lacking (I'm no bass-head, but still) and that, because it's open-backed, I can hear everything around me. I'm looking for a pair of headphones with very good isolation and bass that is significant, but still not overwhelming. To give a threshold of sorts, I've tried the DT770 (80 ohm) and I found that the bass is far too overwhelming everywhere. It seemed to mask sounds with bass well into the mids. Do the DT770 (250 ohm) fix this problem? I was looking into the K550 but I've read that getting a good fit for maximum isolation is very difficult and this is very important to me. So should I go with it anyway or should I go in another direction? Thanks in advance.
