i listen to metal, rap, oldies, electronica, given to 2 choices (unless you can find a way to get me some dt770/80 to Victoria, BC, canada...)
which is better for bass.

The HD600s and 650s have better bass than both IMO.

Headroom (www.headphone.com) will sell the DT770 to Canada.

headroom has the 250 ohm version... i didnt see the 80

Dont buy the 595's for bass. I am seriously considering selling them because of the lack thereof. Even with my AD8397 Go-VIbe, the bass is just too lacking. Unless you have a serious tube amp hooked up to it (or some SS equilivant with good bass reproduction), you arent going to be satisfied, especially for rap (which the 595s are doing a horrible job on atm). Find a way to get the 770s. Thats my opinion. I hear that Grados are decent in the bass department aswell. I will have to check that out once my 125s come in. You dont like the bass on the 280s? They were decent for rap out of my old receiver. Curious.

i love the 280's bass! i'm just looking for the next step up! more bass, better SQ... you know, the usual

If you like the 280 bass, I would steer clear of the 595s. Those new 770 hifis look juicy sweet.

HD590 are known to have gobfulls of bass. At least the pair I had anyways.

590's have good bass. Nice impact, slightly elevated compared to the rest of the frequency range, in my opinion. Perhaps a touch bloated. But if you like bass than the 590 will be much better for you than the 595.

gobfulls= good or bad?

theres some brand new 590's sitting at The Bay downtown... there $299 but it might be worth it if i cant get some 770/80.... and whats 770 hifi???????
edit: bloated like the 7509's? i hate bloated bass... i need solid crisp bass....

You won't like the 590's if you like your bass crisp. Definitely boomy. I think the 595's have decent, well defined bass, but maybe a bit thin for a basshead. Honestly if you really enjoy bass-y music neither is a good choice.

BTW I own the HD595's and listen to a lot of electronica and I think they sound really good. "Punchy" maybe is a good term I'd use for 595 bass.

The hifis are the new dt770s (I heard them called the hifis in a review and thus I assumed the name was established). (http://www.beyerdynamic.com/cms/Prem...ctdatabase_pi1[showUid][showUID]=173&tx_sbproductdatabase_pi1[showUid][backPID]=105&cHash=0f9957feaa).
How does 590 bass compare to 280/grado pro series bass? If it is a beefier 595, then I may just look into it.

 

[familyman]

has anyone heard anything about or tried the new K 181 DJ?

i wonder if headphile will sell me some stock 770/80's?

anyone know how much some basic darth beyers cost in total? (wood & recable?)

 

[familyman]

wait a minute... i could order them right from beyer right? maybe get some custom ones?? how much is that ?? more than $400?
