yeah its like monitors and everything else. I had AKG 240s once upon a time but they were just too shy on bass for me.
I then switched to the DT880s which i much prefer, been using them ever since! |

before i got monitors, the 701's were on my head constantly.
i think the only other pair i've had feel better than them are the sennheiser 595's, but they're not very analytical |

| I have the 701s and the DT880s and I find the DT880s slightly more comfortable, and a snugger fit. I also think that they sound more accurate and my mixes usually translate better when I mix with them. |

yes lordi as well i think, really gentle on the ears |
I do indeed, and they are very comfortable.
They are relatively light on bass so you have to be careful with how they translate but used in conjunction with a good set of speakers they're great. Unbelievable midrange detail. |

SO at this point if I'm hearing this correctly we have three best recommendation:
1. AKG 701s
2. DT 880s
3. Lordi - which I'm not familiar at all with (but Raphie is :D )
Anybody else can suggest something different?

Read my post.
Don't buy K701\Q701, buy K702\K7XX or if you can afford it - K712.
If you go with the DT880 go for the premium 250ohm+ edition. |

Yes, I was and this is the reason why I'm looking at this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beyerdynami...=p2054897.l4275

| Yeah, definitely go with the 250-ohm version, unless you have a very good headphone amp. I have the 600-ohm version and most audio interfaces don't have the juice to adequately push them, so if you're planning on using your soundcard's headphone out, the 250-ohm version is what you want. Don't even bother with the 32-ohm version (designed for mp3 players, basically). |
