Looking for a new headphone under $600. The most recent one I've tried out was the Denon AH-D7000 (have not sent it back yet, but will this next week; first time I've returned a headphone). What I did not like about it was: its crappy soundstage, the somewhat thin mids, and the lack of refinement in the bass (maybe I'm being too hard on the D7000 on this point; it is difficult to have both a powerful and well-defined bass). Besides those problems, I discovered that the drivers were very poorly matched (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/den...ml#post5466502), which is totally unacceptable for such an expensive headphone. I would like a headphone with a similar "fun factor" (basically, it can carry a beat, I can feel impacts on my ears, and the bass is boosted a bit) but with all of the problems I have listed fixed. It can be open or closed.
Would the Ultrasone PRO 900, unmodded (I'm not willing to mod, period, as stupid as I am for that), satisfy my requirements? Any other suggestions for fun, high quality headphones?
Maybe it is about time I should try the HD650, even though it probably won't give me the fun factor I'm looking for? The HD595 is probably my favorite dynamic headphone, given its overall balance. I realize that the HD650 would have less treble yet be superior in overall sound quality.
