I originally brought a pair of HD555 which was my first intorduction to the higher end sound available via headphones and were amazing to my ears - so much better then anything that I'd heard before up till that point.
Then I couldn't resist Dr Meir's pricing on the older DT880 and brought a pair that have just turned up and I'm listening to now (they must have about 20mins of burning in on at the moment!! lol) and I'm already thinking that these are wonderful - the step up from the Sennheiser doesn't seem a huge step but already I can see these being my 1st choice listening.
The bass seems to be there on all the music I've listened to already (and I've tried some classical and some harder rock to test) Maybe it's just that I'm getting used to listening to music as close to the way it was recorded but these sound great to me. Also so much more comfortable then the senns (and I thought they were really comfortable!)
