Very nice guide

 

[divideby0]

You should add the M-Audio Q40s to the "$70-$150 Closed Headphones" category. They are excellent and very well balanced studio monitors

Sennheiser's HD580s are listed as "2" (amp suggested but not required) while the HD600s are listed as "3" (amp required). Don't these two models have the same drivers and other internals? I ask because I'm considering picking up some 580s and wondering if a CMoy will provide sufficient power.

Which headphones are the best in production? In other words, which are the best headphones that I can buy new? A lot of the out of production stuff is probably going to be used and I'm just scared about new stuff.

I'm guessing the Edition 9 or maybe the D7000 when it comes out?

you are missing cx500 and ATH AD900
Could you please add it in?

Thanks for the great guide. Really convenient for a headphone nub such as myself.

There are no "the best", as we all have different preferences.
I don't think you can go much wrong with a Stax SR-007A or MKII though..

Nice list

Nice guide, Any chance Market prices will be revised frequently?

Thanks again!

As someone who is about to invest, this post is really useful. One of the unusual things about head-fi seems to be than you pretty much have to buy blind, this overview really helps.

Thanks!

Me too, thanks

Very helpful thread.

I hope we can add some recently discontinued headphones in the list, especially those still are widely available in the used market. They can be really good deal for the $.

Hello,
I poke and tease ebay stores into letting me pay off expensive cans at around 50 bucks US a week. It's almost a constant feature of my weekly budget.
This way I can buy cans and it doesn't hurt. And if I need money I can stop buying cans for a month or however long.
I have HD650 and DT990 250 ohm version, oops, and my question is, out of these things, what should I get next?

*Little dot MKIII amp
*Little dot MKIV amp
*AKG K701
*Grado Prestige something or other

My Higain Grado amp is perfectly adequate for both sets of cans that I have.
And I kinda wanna keep buying headphones until I finally get a pair the Grado doesnt run very well and THEN buy my second headphone amp.
But someone just offered me layby on LDIII amp at 50US a week, so I think, hey I could start to set up the tube chain I want and also fill the left side of the shelf.
I hope someone tries to answer: Cans or Component next???
Thankyou,
Undecided, Mandurah.
P.S. Just got the DT990's, how's the detail in 'em? I love listening to the pearl jam song "Go" on them.
