So I've got my MS-1 a few days ago and after having them played some music I would say that the difference (to me) against the HD437 I had before are quite small, the bass might be a little more punchy whereass the HD437 is more "muddy" but I think it's a little less bass, and overall it sounds a little more clear but not any huge differences.
I had them play some pink and white noise all night today but I haven't listened to them again after that, also I only have the comfies so far (I've ordered the HD414 pads, I assume what would be nice is maybe a little more bass and not as harsh treble... or whatever, I just think the difference are so very slim against my very cheap (248 sek) HD437s.)
The thread where someone had measures the HD595 got me intrested in the diagrams and I went over to headphone.com to learn more about how it should look to be a natural sounding headphone. (Thought they only compare frequency response and maybe not what makes phones sounds "open" or have a large soundstage and so on?)
I mostly listen to trance/techno/synth/electronic music, althougt pop might work to, such as http://www.last.fm/music/Brainpool/_/Bandstarter
Anyway, here in Sweden you can get:
k81 DJ, 790 sek (+ shipping)
SR60, 790 sek (no shipping)
HD555, 789 sek (+ shipping I think)
When the prices are like that, are there any true winner?
My MS-1 would have been 719 sek without VAT, but it ended up beeing 983 sek since it got stuck in the customs, bad buy for that amount of money compared to the others?
HD595 pro, 1283 sek (+ shipping)
DT770, 1335 sek (+ shipping)
DT990 pro, 1343 sek (+ shipping)
From what I can tell of headphone.com it seems the HD595 should be quite close what they say is natural sound, but the DT770 will have more bass and if I remember correctly more treble aswell, true? The 990 are more neutral than the 770? Any better choice? Would all of these have been a better choice and improvement over my MS-1?
SR225, 2890 sek, but maybe cheaper in the USA? (no shipping)
MS2, 2172 sek without VAT which would be 2779 if caught in customs. (no shipping)
DT880, 2326 sek (+ shipping)
These seem more neutral from headphone.coms graphs aswell (SR225 and DT880 that is), considering the DT880 is cheaper, could you find an obvious winner?
Very theoretical since I haven't listened to them but I don't know how many of them are easy to listen to. And your regular opinions might differ with the prices we have over here I suppose, so I wanted to ask
