Ok, so heres the basic run down, I bought my V-Moda LP2s mid november, 2012, and I have hardly listened to them since I grew away from dubstep. They sound awful with metal and rock music, so Im looking for a new pair of headphone to be used at my desk, on my laptop. They will be used in equal parts for both music and gaming, genres like metal, rock, and classic, but they will also be used for playing some FPSs on my laptop.
So far I have looked at a few different pairs, but I have not made a decision because I keep coming across short comings from each pair. Thus far I have looked at the Sennheiser HD558, AKG K701/K702, and the Beyerdynamic DT880/770.
Now up until recently I was set on the HD558, they seemed to be a perfect headphone for all around use, but lately Ive been hearing that they have a rather boring sound when listening to music, as well as something called the sennheiser veil which is a name given to their layed back sound. Up until recently I also wasnt even considering the K7** line because of how much I have heard about the treble spikes, but that was until I studied the frequency graphs and realized they are somewhat neutral except for the 5db treble spike, which I may actually enjoy. Same goes for the DT880, they have a rather large treble spike which may prove fatiguing.
Now the main problem right now is that I do not have an amp, but I will be getting a Schiit M&M stack somewhat soon, probably within the month. Another issue is that I would prefer not to spend more than $200, as the financing is coming straight out of my graduation gifts, which I am supposed to be saving.
So please help me out guys, I need some guidance and advice!
