Hi all,
I'm looking for something to complement my AD700s for areas that they just aren't as adept at. The AD700s seem great for classical and acoustic, but get into heavier rock or try to watch a movie, and they just don't seem to keep up. I was originally set to buy the DT990s, but was reading some reviews on Amazon where people were recommending the DT880 instead. Instead of trusting random Amazon reviews, I figured I'd come to the source. I'm planning to get an E9 to drive them (and I have a Ti HD as a source), and if I didn't already own the AD700s, I might go for the more neutral 880s. But as it is, I'm still leaning toward the 990s.
Anyone have an opinion on which of these is a better headphone? Or should I buy both and keep the one I like better? I'm also open to other suggestions. Thanks.
Jeff
