My HD 280's have finally bit the dust as their fragile band has snapped in two :frowning2:
 
I'm now looking for some advice on what headphones would be good to try out. I currently have the HD 650 and 380 on my list but I'd like to know if there are any others you would advise me to try out.
 
I watch a good deal of movies and I don't have a specific genre of music I like to listen to, but a lot of my favorite bands have some great guitar in them. So I was thinking having a headphone with nice treble and decent bass would be great.
 
Thanks for the help!

Alessandro MS-2i / Grado SR325i
 
Buy a used Alessandro MS-1 then send them out for Martin Customs cups and cable (check the SR-60 mod thread to see why you really want to do this)
 
Grado SR-225i
 
Beyerdynamic T50p
 
These all run off similar power to the HD280 pro's yet their detail retrieval is going to be massively better, you'll get more of a midrange out of any of these. I'm a gigantic fan of Martin Customs. It's like getting an RS-1 for like half the price.
