Ok, I will, but I am by no means an audiophile. I will still post what I hear when I get them (for christmas!)

Should I just listen to music to burn them in? Or is there some special music to do that?

I'll probably take off the HD280 Pros from my "list", I want comfort, so I ill probably go with an open 'phone.

Still deciding between the HD555 and the DR150.

The AT ATH-700 might still be a choice, I don't know. Somebody said they aren't that good for rap, I have heard they have pretty good bass. What makes them not suited for it? How do they compare to the others?

The DR150 are far better than the 555's and they DO compete with the very nice HD580's - that wasn't a mistype.

Spend the extra money - it will hold off the upgraditus a bit longer.

DR150 has to be better than an HD555. The 555 is awful.

The A700 doesn't have a bass that extends deep, so if you crave deep bass with your rap music then they may not be what you're looking for. The A700 do have detailed sound with a good soundstage, which may be better suited (but not perfect) for rock music. They also do well as a set of cans for gaming.

How do they compare to the DR150s?

Are you talking about the closed ones? (I assume so.) The open ones are probably going to be similar, I guess.

 

[warubozu]

I can't make a comparison against the DR150 as I haven't had the chance to audition them. The A700 is the closed version and the AD700 is the open version.

AD700 >A700 in everything except bass. If bass is important I'd lean towards the Dr150.

Bass isn't the most important thing to me, but I would like do have good bass. I think I'm leading towards the DR150s, they look good compared to others, any more opinions?

Open and at $100, you can't go wrong with the Sennheiser HD-555.

 

[nate911]

I am deciding between DR150 and AD700 right now. The HD555 seems ok, just not as good as the others, may be wrong. I probably would be willing to pay the extra price to get the DR150 than the 555, I don't have many opinions on the AD700 but I heard it is a good headphone.

Thanks so far, any more opinions??

 

[goober-george]

Get the DR-150 I've read nothing but positive from them, the SQ is described as Grados with soundstage. *edit* I would read the goldring dr-150 appreciation thread for more info.

 

[nate911]

I think I am probably going to go with the DR150. Anybody else have opinions on that, AD700, or others? (I'm not getting this till after Christmas so all comments are appreciated!)
