Dear fellow Head-fiers,
My Senn HD580 feels rather inadequate when I have my play button on my ambient, electronic playlist, particularly on the low side of things.
I have scouring through the Head-fi forum looking for a complimentary can that is capable to help fill that deep void.
Potential candidates like M-Audio Q40, Beyerdynamics DT-770, etc have been mentioned rather frequently. However, it is rather unfortunately over here in the Oriental East, there are few, if not none where a demo is permitable. To add salt to my wound, it's heresy to even mention the words return policy.
The closest I could get are those demo MDR-XB700s boldly highlighted with the words EXTRA BASS at the local Sony Gallery showrooms.
So, I know this has been discussed many times before... But will a... say DT-770 Pro 80 or 250 (sitting on the fence on this one) give me that thumping bass I have been missing out on my HD580?
I do expect some tradeoffs in some other frequency departments, and I certainly don't expect it sounding like a HD800 with a pair of 12" subs on each side. As long the highs, mids and sound staging, etc are slightly above average (not sh1tty though), I am perfectly fine. I just need to have fast tight bass reverberating down my spine, but of course it must be a fun and engaging listening experience.
So what do you think? Denons.. Ultrasones... M-Audios.... Beyersdynamics..... Audio Technicas??? Something that will trash the living daylights outta my HD580s in the bass department (little point if it's just a meager trashing). Or should I just settle for an easily accessible Sony MDR-XB700....
