A bit about myself: I have the HFI-580 as my first pair of headphones, and while I enjoy the V-shaped frequency response, I'm looking to see what other sound signatures have to offer. So for my second pair I'm looking for either closed or semi-open phones with an emphasized midrange, for under $100. Comfort is important since I wear glasses, so I cant have them clamping too hard.
I have considered the sr60/sr80/ms1, but they are too open for my tastes and I have read they arent exactly comfortable.
Right now I'm considering either the sennheiser dh448 or the superlux hd668b. The senns seem to have great detail and clarity as well as comfort, but many reviews have noted they lack bass. The superluxs have many good reviews and I have heard that the mids are slightly forward, but it doesnt mention by how much. I don't know about their comfort too.
So if I'm looking more to complement rather than upgrade my 580's, which would be a better buy? If anybody has other suggestions that would be welcome also.
