Hey all, newbie here again.
I've really been enjoying my new German Maestro GMP 8.35 D Monitors for the past month or so. They have a very up-front and detailed presentation which is very ideal for my mixing/monitoring work.
However now I am looking for another set of cans to compliment them in the opposite way - a can that delivers a beautiful, open sound with an extremely wide soundstage. Sort of the "evil twin" of the 8.35's. Or maybe the 8.35's are the evil twin, and I'm looking for the good twin
:
I'm looking for headphones which would most successfully make me forget I'm wearing headphones, and put me -inside- the music. While I love the 8.35 D's, I want something which can give me this super-headstage sort of effect. Maybe even "distant" would be the right word, but still lush and enjoyable for pleasure listening??
Recently I've been drooling over reviews of the DT880 600 Ohm's, specifically froom Moon Audio. Would this be a good place to start? Any other suggestions?
BTW, comfort is important too! I loved the sound of my first Alessandro MS-1's (Rest in peace..
) but could not stand those supra-aural pads for extended listening sessions.
Any help or suggestions you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Budget would be in the ~$500 territory I'd say.
