Hi all, To start out I'm not completely new to headphones. About a year ago I got a pair of denon 1001's cable modded em and really liked them. My uses are mainly portable cans for school and such, ipod, no amp. The problem with the denons was a year of constant use wore em out. both the cups have snapped off at least once and they are beyond repair now. The search was on agian, and I got a pair of rewired hd 25's. mainly for their renowned quality and durability.
Now a few months later I;m looking again, for a few reasons. The Hd25's are very flat and I've grown to dislike that really, I think a bit more color or "fun" in the phones suites me better. I like when my music is lively and bright, not when its perfectly flat and balanced. Also they aren't very comfy
Also the denons would fatigue my ears afer a few hours, any open cans, (including grado's) I can have much louder and get no fatigue, the 25's make my ears ache in less than 30 mins at medium volumes, I think its because they are so small and so isolated. Sooooooooo I've had thoughts about getting a second pair of denons, but I assume they will wear out aswell, beyers (DT770 Pro) have come to mind, but they would be unamped, are they "fun" unamped or should I look elsewhere?
As always any comments apriciated, cheers.
