The sound from DT150 sound different depending on what dac and amp you have.
Should I get DT 150s?

I wouldn't recommend the DT250 to you, then.

my most used headphone currently is an ER4S just so you know.

I don't see how you will not be disappointed by DT150 given your current setup, unless you lower your expectations accordingly. If you'd like some closed headphones to compete with HD800 for your attention you should look into DX1000 or D7000. The DT150 are very attractive headphones at their price point but definitively not in the same league.

The DT150 is IMO the more musical sounding of the Beyer closed bunch. To me they sounded balanced and fun at te same time.
Not dull, and with a full, detailed and absolutely no boomy bass.
Midbass can be too much for some.
They are not very refined, and they can sound a little grainy.
The comfort is indeed awful, even when the pads are soften up.
If you want a more 'audiophile', and comfortable closed headphone, you could look at the DT770 manufacture 600 ohm from the BeyerDynamic webshop.
The Kenwood KH-K1000 is also a very good and often overlooked closed headphone.

Dont forget the DT660. That is based on the 831 which is quite detailed and neutral although a bit cold.

While they are less expensive, I think the DT440/DT531 are very underrated cans.

No.. It's just silly how anyone would call a studio headphone that is still in production over 50 yrs a FOTM. They will never have mass appeal, & were never meant to be..

I really want to try the DT150 but first things first. I also heard they are a beast to amp properly. |
