If you scroll down on this page, you'll see a seller named Electronuus. He sells the hd600 for about $204, and asks a cheap $6.00~ for shipping.

lol you bring up a good point. Honestly, I do not know as much about the k701 as I do the dt880. I DO know, however, that they make part of what is called the head-fi trio(dt880, hd650, and the k701), and are highly regarded and comparable to each other for neutral, accurate, and hi-end headphone listening. I've just been sold on the dt880 since the first days I landed on head-fi.org=] I can get the dt880 off ebay for about $230, and the k701 for $244 from NL&S. So it's really a toss up. If my dt770/80's earcups are any indication of the size of the dt880's earcups, then I feel a bit safer going with the dt880 for ergonomic reasons.
As far as the k601, from everything I've read, it's a good can, but not in the same league the k701 and the dt880 are. Also, it lacks the bass extension needed for electronica, according to ASR's review.

Beautiful description of them. You're one of the people who convinced me about the dt880 and electronica in my other thread, lol=] Everyone who has listened to electronica with the dt880's had positive things to mention about them.
I actually wanted the dt880'05/32 ohm version, since I bet it would be so good sounding, that I would love going outside with them on. But, alas, the cheapest version is the 250 ohm model. If I had to choose between the older 250 ohm model and the newer one, I would chose the former. According to this review, the older model has slightly more air and soundstage width--two things I'm looking for. The newer model is believed to have more bass weight, but, after coming from the dt770/80, I think my bass needs are tamed a bit=]

Surely the bed listening isn't the only reason, especially as the size of DT880 earcup is only a tad smaller than that of the AKGs? |

If you want to hear the beauty of electronica bass, mids, highs (the highs are beautifl - and until you have experienced the beautiful atmospheric highs in IDM/space and even trance, you have not experienced electronica through headphones). I love them and if you can get them for that good of a price, you will enjoy. Are you by any chance going for the 2005 model or is it the 2002? They are both good and I have the 2002 model, beautiful. Cheers[/size] |
