Gotcha what styles of music do you listen to

Rock, Pop, Blues, Movie Soundtracks mainly. Not much bass heavy stuff. Bass quality is more important than bass quantity for me and the styles of music I listen too.

Do you have a chance to audition headphones where you live?

Ummm I have a guitar center that's it though

If you have a Best Buy near you with a magnolia attached (most do) then you may be able to hear the Sennheiser Momentum 2 Over ear headphones.  Plenty of bass and they are a closed headphone.  They may also have the Denon AH-D600 which is also a bass strong closed headphone in that price range.  They differ in soundstage and upper end from what I heard, but I'm not experienced enough to speak to the overall quality of either.

From what I read here they should at least usually have the DT-770, so you can at least make yourself a picture of whether you like the phone or not. And bring your own music if you have a portable source. It makes a huge difference if you can audition with your own music/rig. That way you will not be disappointed later.

Well our Best Buy does not have a magnolia and our guitar center has the beyers and will try them out when I get home also the B&W's sound really nice imo if anyone has them it would be great if you could supply info

  why not the sony mdr 1a?

I have heard that the bass on them drowns out the mids and is really sloppy

 

[Willybugs]

Oh by the way guys it does not have to be a portable headphone with low impendance

I just got word from a friend who is willing to sell me his Denon D2000 for $350.... Should I bite the hook?

I think that's what they sold for "new" before they discontinued them several years ago.

I've heard some people complaint about the D2000. In any case better hear it out for yourself before you buy.

 

[Willybugs]

Ok have any of yall heard the mad dogs

 

[Willybugs]

Up to $400 for each headphone? or $400 total to spend?

If you have up to $800, I'd recommend the Audeze EL-8 closed over everything on that list by a wide margin, you won't miss open cans if you get them. 

 Off your list I'd take Mad Dogs and HE-400's, but you'll probably need a better amp than the E7

Why not the Mad Dogs

Pm3s and you have a buck extra.

Just stating that the pm3s have enough bass for me. I use my lcds more at home, but i never feel the bass is lacking baddly with the oppos.
