My friend was recently looking for a new headphones for music and BF 3 so i helped him.He wanted full-sized cans,max. price was 200 eur. and it should not need an amp.I showed him DT 770/880/990 and some Ultrasones.He was very interested of the DT 880's but their price was over the budget.Few weeks later he said he saw the DT 880's were on sale,so he bought them.He then told me how he could hear everything more clearly and new details and better soundstage.That wasn't a big surprise considering he had the Sony XB500's.
He was so generous,that he lent me the 880's over weekend
.I gave him my SRH 940 for a trade.
Other friend was looking for new gaming headphones.This time we decided that a Beyerdynamic MMX 300 was perfect for him.He ordered it very soon after that.
I had also showed my headphones to my friends and family.Most common reply for SRH 940 was that they are very resolving.HE-500 has also got some good impressions.The same friend (before he bought 880's) said that the HE-500's had just right amount of bass.He also said that he was looking that kind of bass.
