Hey all,
this is my first post on this forum but Ive been reading it heavily for the past months, researching phones that would meet my needs. The music I listen is mostly hip-hop/electronica/trip-hop (but also stuff like rage, chili peppers, reggae, jazz etc.) I am VERY much into bass, that is a lot of it, deep, hard hitting, textured and low. I recently got a pair of DT770 Pro 80s and listened to them for 10 hours after bringing them home (their awesome!). So Im stuck between the flavor of the day, being the W3's or the Shure 530s. Which set do you guys think would sound closest to my 770's (I know its impossible, but as far as low end and overall sound signature, generally speaking)? I know its lame of me to ask for help on this, but its not like I havent dont my homework reading the comparisions, I have. I just want to get some first hand advice. From what I can tell the W3 is better for bass than the shures, but its mids are somewhat lacking/recessed, which seems acceptable to me (IF its bass is really that much better than the shures).
Cheers--

P.S. I rule out the super.fi 5 EB as Ive had problems with UE in the past. I also hear bass is good on the X10s and the atrios, but I really am more interested in either the SE530 or the W3's.
