Headphoneus Supremus
I have used headphones for a while (5-6 years) and the brand I always used was Koss, since their HQ is like 1 mile from where I live. I started out with a vintage pair of PRO4AA headphones and liked them a lot. Then I wanted more SQ and upped it to the PRO3AAT since I heard they were superior to the old PRO4AA's. Wouldn't you know that "Upgrade Syndrome" struck me not long after I got them and I bought the new revised form of the 4AA's. Whoa!!! What a difference over the PRO3AA's.
This was all a few years back. Now about 2 months ago I decided to get another pair of cans. After much research I decided to get the HD595's. When I first heard them, I was blown away. I couldn't believe how much better they sounded than the Koss ones. So I had them for about 2 weeks before "Upgrade Syndrome" showed it's head again. Now I itched for an even better sound. After I got my first taste of Audiophile sound, I was hooked and I wanted better.
I started researching again, built a CMOY, and then ordered some HD600 cans off of eBay. These thing just blew the HD595's plain out of the water. I was mad that I the HD595's since I got the HD600's for less than the other pair. So I had them for several weeks before I started to get bored of the sound. It was way to relaxed for me tastes, and I needed a more aggressive sound. That's when I found the DT880's and I read many reviews for them. The only reason I chose them is 'cause I heard they had a more "straight-forward" sound, which I like more than the lazy Sennheiser sound.
Before I bought the DT880's, I thought it was time for a better amp. So I bought the "Total AirHead" and it was a big step up from my CMOY. So now I bought them on amazon for $188 and I'm absolutely in love with them. The bass has more extension, the vocals more up close, and a mid-range that's just nice. These things are just awesome!!
But I still hunger for a better sound... so I think it's time to invest in a better surround sound system, and maybe better speakers...
Ooo, that was a long story. Now how about you guys?
