Interesting choices. The HD590 are very good headphones. I would definitely start with them, from that list.
| Originally posted by Psionicist Thanks for the reply my friend! I have narrowed down to a few here... Sennheiser HD-590 ($200) I can afford these. Technically, I can afford even more expansive headphones. The question is if I'm ready to pay that much for cans. I don't really think so. However, if these are REALLY good, I may consider it. Philips HP890 ($60) Probably not as good as the above, but cheaper. 
Beyerdynamic DT531 ($95) I have heard that these feel a little "plasty" (or whatever, like plastic), and I don't really like that. On the other hand, I've heard they are pretty good too. AKG K240 M ($130) Or something like that. Ideas? |

Hmmm...
Just noticed the DT831 are on sale for around $150. However, I've heard that the sound is a bit bright. Are the DT531 a better choice?

Perhaps a tad enthusiastic there Snufkin.
As you are aware I have some experience with these two cans, and my appraisal is somewhat different ... in fact I believe the sum of their individual merits is almost identical, with the koss taking the money by a "beesdick".
