Hello everybody
This is my first post here and this has probably been asked more than once, but still.. Here goes.
At this point im using a Logitech 350 USB headset wich is breaking down. For replacement Ive been looking around for some new headphones. This time (far) better quality than the 350's since i got more demanding on sound quality over the last few years.
Found and read hundreds of topics(including head-fi) and still majorly in doubt. Before every1 says i just have to go and listen, i would like some expert opinions to narrow down my list. Im not audiophile but i do want good sound quality.
One requirement is curcumaural and my purpose is metal(black,death,trash,viking and folk/pagan) and games. I know from experience that (too)much bass will ruin almost every metal song.
My current list is as follows:
Beyer DT770
Beyer DT880
Beyer DT990
Sneheiser HD 650
Ultrasone Pro 750/2500
Havent read much about the Ultrasones atm, some1 recommended them. And what is the difference in the the two? Apart form the closed/open back.
Ive been hanging towards the beyer DT880 for its neutrality and detail and it doesnt seem to have much bass compared to the 770 and 990. The sennheiser seems to do wel overall so that one is still in the race
Already decided that i will probably go for the Zero DAC/preamp as i have read only good reviews so far.
Thanks in advance
