Well the Dt 880 has a pretty falt response and I very much enjoy it for Music! I ofc use a colored amp as well as a Colored DAP, but str8 out my PC un colored they still sound wonderful. Trust me good music sounds best through transient gear! Great music sounds even better, it's only the FUN music that needs a FUN Gear set up lol [and by Good I mean stuff like Classical or Sound Tracks... maybe even rock anything well mastered and balanced!]
Thanks for the advice. I am more worried about sound than the portability factor, and don't have a lot of issue with the curled cable of the Senn 380s (I've seen people use straight cables of their own with it, so I bet I could do that if I really grew to hate the curling.) Most of all though, I really want the phones I get to have a nice listening experience. Is the flat response on the 380 really that boring for normal music use? Are there any cans out there where I can have my cake and eat it too by being enjoyable for music but usable as monitors? If not, and if you think that a flat response really isn't great for listening to music, what would you recommend for "fun" headphones, preferrably ones with enough bass and a wide enough soundstage for a good gaming experience as well? Also, about the portables you mentioned, I tend to dislike on-ear headphones, do you have any thoughts on over ear portables? (again, portability is a low priority, if worst comes to worst, I'll use a pair of earbuds to drown out those around me. Sucks, but its better than no music at all imo )
Thanks for the advice and any to come
