So I have a birthday around the corner...and so I just asked for some $$ to put towards some headphone gear. Now I'm a bit torn...I have some delicious D2000's that I love listening with, I have two decent amps (SOHA II and a Mamba D4) so it's not that I need to invest in amp's per se...
I love listening to electronica (Infected Mushroom, VaC, Chemical Brothers, etc) so the bass and punchy sounds are what I go for.
The hard part now is deciding...do I go for a second set of cans like the Beyer 770's for some crazy banging bass for those "bass head" moods...do I go for Senn 598's for some super immersive gaming type sound (Skyrim, Fallout, Doom, etc) or do I mod my D2000's with some new Lawton pads and "tune up kit", maybe toss on a TH900 cable as well since he's got a sale going on.
My budget really only allows for 1 of these pieces of the puzzle. I've never owned open back headphones so I can't lean towards the Senn's with any certainty. But I know the 770's are tooth rattlers from lots of reading and apparently modded D2000's are fantastic sounding (something towards the D5k and D7k depending on the effort).
Anyone with any or all of these puzzle pieces that could chime in on this?
