Looking to get some new headphones to go with my new Schiit Magni 2 Uber / Modi 2 Uber. I have had the DT990 Pros for a couple of years and have been happy with them, but I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade.
My opinion on the DT990 Pros:
lower bass - excellent, almost perfect for me
upper bass - not nearly as good as the lower bass, lacking impact
mids - not great, recessed
detail - excellent on non complex tracks, not so great when there's a lot going on
highs - too strong
soundstage - good
I listen to a wide range of music, electronic, house, bass, pop, acoustic, vocal.
I have found some ex-display (box opened only 3 months ago) Beyerdynamic T90s for £280. Seems like a bargain, but I just wanted to see if these would be suitable based on my opinion of the DT 990 Pros? Would it be a massive upgrade? Or just a small one? I can spend a bit more if there's something that's a lot better or more suitable for my tastes, but not more than £450.
Any help is appreciated.
