I've been wondering about this for a while and haven't seen any suggestion of an answer in previous threads: is there any set of high-end headphones considered superior to the DT880 but with a similar sonic signature?
Having just "completed" (we'll see if I stick to that claim in a few months
) my system, I have no immediate plans to upgrade, but I'd like to have something in mind as a basis for future research, if nothing else.
I'm ultimately asking for recommendations here, so I should point out two criteria that I would consider critical if I were to upgrade:
1) The soundstage should be as large or larger than that of the DT880. I A/B'd with a friend's HD600 tonight and IMMEDIATELY realized the superiority of the DT880 soundstage.
2) There should be at least as much bass as the DT880. Uh, let's just say I immediately noticed something else upon switching back to the DT880.
Hmm...I suspect that the AKG K1000 meets the first criterion but not the second. However, if you think it's a good upgrade, go ahead and suggest it (or anything else) for the sake of other curious DT880 owners.
