Hi,
Sorry if it's not the right thread for this question. Because of still being unsure if I should go for Sennheiser HD650 or Beyerdynamic DT990/DT880 with mostly listening to drum & bass and trance...so low frequencies are quite important to me. From what I've read the DT990 are "very bright" I'm not sure what that means and if it's something good for electronic music. What I personally like in sound is pretty neutral but with some extra bass (so the cans can dig in to the very low sounds, without sacrificing the rest) for the genres I listen to. I don't like EQ'ing so it would be nice to buy a set of cans that sounds the way I like it without any changes. So what do you all think would be the best choice for me....too bad I have no place to test any of the headphones. Thanks in advance for answers.
I have the HD-650 and don't think they are a good match for electronic (techno?) / EDM. The sound of the HD-650 is on the warmer side and makes a great relaxation headphone.
You might want to try the HE-400i, I think they are much better for EDM / techno, the bass hits harder and lower, the highs have a little more sparkle that make synthesizers sound crisp and clean.
I've never heard a DT-990/880 so I can't comment there.
Good luck, happy listening.
