The main genre of music I like is rock and metal, in this case, I would choose a grado. However, I want a headphone with a bigger soundstage and more bass than the grado. I will also be using these headphones a lot for gaming, so I need a good soundstage for imaging and a decent bass impact. I also listen to a couple of other genres as well, where the grado wouldn't be good since it's said to be great for rock/metal but bad for other types of music. Soundstage and a bit more bass would be great. Is the DT880 600 ohm a good option for me? I will be using it with a tube amp like the little dot MK IV. Im looking for an exciting and engaging headphone with a lot of impact. The DT880 is said to have an exciting treble which is bright, but not as fatiguing as grado's. Will it be a good option for me? Some people say it lacks body for rock, do you agree?
There's something else I wanted to add, the 250 ohm and 32 ohm editions have recessed mids, but people say the mids aren't that recessed in the 600 ohm edition. Some people say the 600 ohm's mids are a bit recessed while others say it's balanced. If in case I find the mids a bit too recessed, is it a good idea to EQ the mids or would that screw up the sound signature?
