I know there have been a few threads touching on this subject, but none seemed to solve the problem.
I have HD-580s. I absolutely love them! I'm considering getting some HD-650s because I like my 580s so much. There is one problem...
Sometimes I like to listen when I go to bed, and the open nature occasionally bothers the Mrs. So I'm interested in a closed headphone with a similar sound. I'm told that HD-580s are the same as HD-600s except for the grills (I've replaced mine with the 600 variety) and the cable (I'm making a new cable soon anyway). The 650s are supposed to be an improvement, and I WILL own a pair someday, but I think my next purchase should be a closed design.
I have some nice triple driver IEMs (FreqShows). As much as I like them, they can't quite provide the same experience as the Sennheisers
So what do you guys recommend?
I know what you will all want to know...
Budget? Realistically, similar to 650s but I'd spend as much as I have to
Music types? I listen to a lot of rock, but when I go to bed I put on "softer" stuff. Examples of recent selections: Pink Floyd, Crowded House, Norah Jones, various classical
Actually those are the only two things I see people ask. If you need more info, just ask.
Oh ya, I'll be powering these through an iPod (DIYmod) via LOD and an amp, so I'm not worried about phones that are hard to drive. If I can push 580s I can push most others, right?
