I really enjoyed the K701 at the meet on Saturday. So much so that it looks to be my next headphone.

It looks like the dt880 is the best choice, or the k501 if I am on a budget.

Is 226 a good price for the dt880? And is 130 a good price for the k501?

Yes to both questions.

Where did you find the DT880s for $226?

All this Sennheiser bashing is a bunch of crap - I find the 595's a very well balanced can. They have a fairly forward presentation with a sound that sounds pretty neutral to my ear, but is not "laid" back, although I havent heard a 600 or 650 to compare to them. They aren't boring cans and from what I hear they are a very different animal from the dark/reference sonic signature of the 580/600/650's. That being said, I always hear good things about AKG K701s. Personally I have no desire to upgrade from my 595's (well, someday I'm going to get a top end Audio Technica set). Try the phones with a better source if you can, although the pa2v is good for the price.

I am the complete opposite of one side of this thread. I've had the 600, 595, 501 and 880 and two stayed and two didn't. Don't get me wrong I like the 501's and 880's but they both had things that they did very well but they also had glaring faults. If you can pitch a tent over the things they did well then I suppose you could simply look over everything they failed on and I found the 600/595's more balanced and all round proformers. I think the problem with this thread is someone pitching way too big a tent and making definitive statements over a subjective opinion. Does this mean that a lot of people wont like the <insert absolutely any headphone known to man here> better? No...good luck finding what you like the best and hopefully sharing what you have found with others in a helpful manner.
