New Head-Fier
I'm looking for headphones with wide staging and strong low end, but not warm (I don't like the HD650). My budget is 500€.
I mostly listen to dark DnB, jazz, hard bop, some orchestral and play video games.
I do enjoy my HD560S but I'm really starved for something that has a wow factor with staging (which is why I'm considering AKG K712 Pro) and stronger, less "reference" low end (brain shakers, perhaps?). I do very much like analytical and cold sound that allows me to pick out the details in music.
Other cans I'm considering are: Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm, DT1770, DT1990, Sennheiser HD660S, Grado Hemp. What do you guys think of these choices for what I'm looking for? If they are capable of handling it, I will not shy away from using the bass boost on my iFi Zen Can, so the cans don't necessarily have to be bassy out of the box, as long as the drivers are capable.
