Did you ever end up pulling the trigger on something?

I was in your boat about a year ago, wanted to upgrade from TH-X00. Ended up with Audeze LCD-2C, factory refurbished for $600, and they have been awesome. I just made the jump to Hp-3's, will get them next week.

I just received a new pair of Beyerdynamics T1 Gen2 yesterday. I listened to a mix of local flac and Spotify music and couldn’t tell a huge difference. I assume the cans have to burn in a bit. I’ll get HP-3 one day but I’ll wait for a deal before pulling the trigger.
Let me know how you like your pair. What color did you get?

My recommendation would be: stick with the Fostex for rock and pop and get a new/second headphone for jazz and classical. A "used like new" HD800 can be had at this price or even a used entry level stax system. Depending on your preferences the HD800 needs a bit more care when it comes to driving them though.

Edit: was typing and kept the message open while you wrote your last reply ... so never mind
Have fun with your new T1

My personal favourite in that Region is the LCD-2C
However given your preference of music the Beyerdynamic seems like a great fit.

Congrats on the T1‘s, hope you enjoy them! I got ebony, oak was what I wanted, but couldn‘t find a good deal on a pair. I like the looks of all of them but oak is definitely my favorite.
