Both sound awfully good with your music, though. Grados (save for the HP-1000), the K-701, and the DT880 all have much sharper highs than what you say you're looking for. Don't buy one of those without a listen, you might not like them for an extended listen.

fully agree. go for the hd6x0 series.

Thank you all so much for all the advice.
I am buying a pair of DT770s (I just had to try Beyer) but I am already looking at another pair of phones

Q40, D2000, etc all sound appealing.

I think since I am getting closed headphones the other pair should be open so I am looking into that.

As to the Senns, for some reason people always seem to upgrade from those so I wasn't really considering them.

Thanks again!

Sure. Enjoy yourself! I hope they will suit you

Was this so hard?

It still is

As I said I am not done here yet, I am getting a pair of Beyer because I always wanted to hear them but the search for the elusive "perfect" headphone continues

Is there head-fi anonymous?

 

[Ashirgo]

Ha ha, what a persistent one!

Is this possible for you to visit any large store with plenty of subjects we are talking about? I do not think it is called "Heaven"?!

[Vladislav]

Heh, I wish. All the stores around here sell Bose, Panasonic, JVC, etc

 

[jonathanjong]

Bose. *muahahaha* Well, the bug has bitten. Upgraditis before you get your cans. Whoa. Sorry for your wallet.

 

[Vladislav]

It's not upgraditis

I just want to try different manufacturers/phone types so that I can figure out what I like and what I don't like.

Hm. I tend to listen to the same stuff as far as electronica goes - psy/goa, their downtempo cousins, ambient, some worldbeat, and old school synth/electronica.

For long listening sessions, I'd say HD600 + desktop amp. It's very balanced, very linear, and very free from fatigue. But, it's a 300 ohm Senn, so you will want to drive it well. Without enough power, it can sound sluggish, but give it enough juice and it will open up and give you plenty of definition.

Bass depth won't be the best, though, and there's a slight midbass emphasis, but it's only slight. All in all, a thoroughly capable and well-rounded headphone.

 

[jonathanjong]

Fair enough, actually. Wish I could afford to do the same.

 

[Vladislav]

Well, got my DT770pros, absolutely hate them...

They sound extremely muddy, the clarity of sound is worse than koss-ksc75. I don't get it, how can they be so bad? Is it my Klipsch amp?
