Hey Head-Fi, how are ya? You guys helped me pick out my Sennheiser HD 212 Pros about two years ago, and I've come back for more advice for the upgrade.
The primary usage will be for unamped playing, with my 160gb iPod Classic. Looks mean nothing to me, although I do want more comfort than the HD 212 Pros (you can really begin to feel the ear pressure after an hour or two). I want heavy bass, as I usually listen to electronica, metal, and rock, although I do not want so much bass that it encroaches on the mids. I listen to every genre, but those are my favorites. I almost went ahead with buying some Dennon D1100s until I heard that the mids suffered from extra bass.
I've narrowed the list down to four headphones:
Audio-Technica ATH-A500
Ultrasone HFI-580 S-Logic Surround Sound Professional
Ultrasone DJ1 PRO S-Logic Surround Sound Professional
Sony MDR-XB500
Any input about those four? Or any other models I should investigate? Thanks a million!
