These headphones are better than I though they'd be. I'd say they beat the A700 by a decent margin and if anyone though they were bass shy I'd have to disagree.

I'd say in a long term K271S is a winner being less fatiguing and for the lack of the best word "organic", DT880 has more wow factor and seems to suit better genres like metal. And DT880 almost totally disappear when wearing. |
