I recently acquired a pair of Beyerdynamic dt880 pro (250 ohm) headphones and I just don't know what to make of them. The problem is that on the one hand, they are superbly detailed and crisp on good recordings but hideously harsh and excessively bright (and sibilant) on poor recordings. The end result is that I get a headache after about 10minutes of listening to these cans. It got to the point where I decided to get rid of the cans but when I went back to my hd595, m50 I was startled by the sudden lack in detail. I mean they sounded so lifeless in comparison that I had to get the dt880's back out. In my desperation, I stumbled upon some parametric equilizers for foobar2k and then suddenly I was able to tweak the bayers to become my ideal set of cans. They sound like an absolute dream out of foobar- nice punchy bass, incredible detail through out the frequency range and perfectly clear and exciting (but not overbearing) highs. My problem now is this: I listen to a lot of music on foobar but most of my listening happens on slacker.com, last.fm and pandora. The bayers still sound too harsh on there so I need to somehow find a windows wide equalizer. Any Ideas?
