I leave for 12 hours and what the hell happened to this thread!?
 
Kojaku, you just posted my dream setup.  Literally the 3 cans I want with the Schiit combo!  Woody Grado, modded T50RP (on the way!) and LCD-2 to see how they compare and see if I can tune the T50's close.
 
I'm on my way to your house, wherever it is.

Haha. It's in Los Angeles at UCLA . The modded grados are a very special flavor of my pad mod. Takes the edge off the treble still, but doesn't bundle extra unnecessary low-end warmth. Very nice .

Where would the T50RP's fit in the mix with that setup?  Do you find them similar to the LCD-2 as some reviews have said?  Mine won't have wood cups but I'd like to tune them in that direction.

I am really digging it. Best balanced setup I've heard yet. But GS-X is just around the corner.

Just came back from Hongkong to find a replacement for my AT M50. I'm looking for decent bass, with good SQ and good soundstage, and most importantly comfortable!!! SQ must be better than the senn IE8.
I will use it for music (pop, old rock, jazz) and gaming (l4d2, csgo and sc2). I'm hoping seniors on this thread can help me.
After some research, I decided my option to be beyer 770 pro 80 ohm, senn hd650 and denon d5k.
For the Denon, none of the shops has the old model. They already being replaced with the 400, 600 and 7100. They have the d7000 model, but its too expensive for me...
In the end, I tested Beyer 770 pro 80, hd650, denon 400, and ultrasone 900.
First I ruled out ultrasone since the clamp is too much, not comfortable enough for me.
Moving to beyer. The comfort is ridiculous for a closed can. I can barely feel the headphone on my head and I absolutely loved it! Sound wise the Bass is very strong, I like it. SQ definitely a step up to my M50, but details are drowned by the bass qty. Soundstage is wide, which is important to me for gaming purpose.
HD 650, not as comfort as the beyer since the clamp is a bit tight. But it still comfy for me compared to M50 and ultrasone. Bass qty just enough for me and the SQ is definitely better than Beyer. Details are not drowned by the bass and soundstage is also wide. Although I can't compare the soundstage with Beyer since I'm not testing in a quite room.
Denon 400, comfort wise just a little bit below beyer. Bass qty maybe too much for me and the SQ is about the same like Beyer if not less. But for twice the price of beyer and even more expensive than 650, I ruled it out.
So now my options are between Beyer 770 pro 80 (usd 220) and HD 650 (usd 360) . One question is how is the soundstage comparison between these 2 cans? Since its also important to me for gaming.
I'm having difficulties on choosing which one to buy, so please seniors help me...
I will use it indoor with my asus g73jw and Fiio e17 (for now).

 
You can spread out the 650's so they are not tight and they will bend just fine. After some break in time (<50+ hours) they become one of the best HP's around. They scale up with the quality you give them as well or better than any HP I have ever heard.  My.02. Good luck with the search!

Have those can's always had a bit of treble harshness in your opinion?  I auditioned the Rev 1 (have heard the Rev 2 but on Woo gear, not my own) with my system but found them to be very natural, more akin to a HD650 on steroids, smooth, 3D, rich, organic.  I'm all tubes, DAC through amp though.  Just wondering if most people thought they had a bit of a treble spike to them.  Congrats on the UCLA attendance btw, almost went to Berkeley but the tuition was out of this world if you're not in-state.  Looks like I need to get my hands on a Rev 1...

This could be a nice HE-6 rig don't you agree?
