The "hollow" sound you refer to is actually the increase in sound stage which most people regard as an increase in SQ. The K271 is closed and sounds intimate, so going to an open phone like 880/990 is quite startling. I went from a closed Utrasone to the open 990 and was genuinely taken aback with the sound difference. I missed the intimate sound of the Ultrasone for the first few days, but when you get used to an open phone with wide soundstage you realize this is how the music should actually sound and will never go back to closed! Every music genre sounds better with a open phone be it Trance to Classical.

I am interested in the DT990 pro and would like to know how its mids compare to the DT880. |
