Re: Headphones


Any reason you're limiting yourself to the beyerdynamics?

I had owned the DT880s until the AKG K701s entered my life. They are a very good headphone - dry, but lively with a good tonal balance. My one complaint is that they dont image well (not that many headphones do) and they tend to sound cluttered in passages with lots of different instruments/voices (instrument separation isn't always the best).

I've also heard the DT531. They're really wonderful for budget headphones. VERY mellow - maybe the most I've heard (not dark, just chill). But, because of this, they offer a very smoothed sound and detail and transparency suffer. Great for casual listening, not for analytical.
