Hej!
Since my HD555 headphones are broken after some years now, i am looking for new headphonesfor home use, will be mainly connected to my X-Fi Music soundcard. I liked the 555, but since I got the Hd25s i actually prefered the sound of them.
I mainly listen to Metal, older stuff like Maiden and Metallica, but also some newer more agressive things. The HD555 maybe is a bit too "neutral" for that, with too little bass? Could live with it though. Now i need something new, but honestly dont wanna spend too much on this, so my first thought was Hd598, but it.could give me the same "boring" sound i guess?
Dt880 was my next thought, but quite more expensive here, and im also not sure if thats what im looming for. Dt990 could be intresting, but im a bit afraid of those excessive heights everyone is writing about, and i dont think i can test listen to them somewhere around here...
Does anyone have the 990 and can compare them to the 25s?
For some reason i would like open ones for home, even.though the 25s are closed and i like them...Also comfort.is a big concern for me (i wear glasses also), so that seems to kick out a lot like grado etc and so far mainly leaves me with the Senn hd5xx or Beyer 7/8/9 series? The beyer 250 sounded great, but by far not.that comfortable. . And why cant companies.like grado not build phones with their sound and the comfort of a HDxxx? I dont get it :/
Thanks for any input!
