my setup should be listed below. if not i'm using an M-Audio FW solo out to a DV 332. i play DT 990's and i've never been extremely happy with them.
i'd say my problems with this setup starts with a complete lack of mids. i listen to alot of guitar laden music and my current setup always forces me to add EQ from .8k on up to 2k. i'm happy with the bright highs for the most part. they do get a bit sibilant and shrill on some things so i wouldn't mind a headphone that sacrifices some highs but not all. for my tastes i have way too much bass. the only time i really appreciate the bass is when i'm watching movies.
i'm not sure what's changed since i was last involved heavily in the community so i thought i'd drop a newbie post and see what kind of hits i get. IIRC i was recommend HD600/650's last time around due mostly to my amp.
most of my listening is music. mostly metal and guitar related stuff. i also do a fair bit with movies and games but that's maybe 15% of my total time. i'd like to only swap my headphones but if i have some equity in the amp i can maybe swap that too.
