Hello forum
After a few years of daily (ab)use of my dear DT 770 Pro's, the cables now so worn that it's starting to crack in different places. While i could get it replaced, i feel like i might aswell step up my game a little.
I'm not an audiophile, but more of an enthusiast. I don't own alot of audio equipment (B&W 600 series surround for the home theater, Futuresonics Atrio MG7 in ears for work, Fiio E10K DAC/AMP, and ofcourse my 770 Pro's), but at the end of the day, i simply enjoy good quality audio.
Genres: I listen to alot of different genres. From Rammstein to Paul Lewis performing a sonata by Bethoven. Radiohead, Massive Attack, Rökkurró, Florence + The Machine and a whole lot of electronic. My 770's do (in my very humble oppinion) fairly well across all of those genres, but they do excel at pretty much everything electronic or bassy - which i like!
I'm used to closed backs, but have no preference on the design.
My budget is around 500€, (that's 600$ roughly), so it's not the world, but i hope it's enough to get me an upgrade on the beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80's.
On a sidenote, i've been researching the following, but theres so many pro's and con's, that i'm having a hard time finding those deciding factors).
Beyerdynamic Tesla T1 (1 gen) (above my budget, but able to get a good price on these)
Fostex TH500RP
Beyerdynamic T90 (I'm able to take these home for a listening session later this week)
Shure SRH1840
Shure SRH1540 (reading alot of good about these)
Sennheiser hd650
Suggestions, advice, personal experiences, all is welcome!
