Bronze Member Username: Macisgr8Jacksonville, FL USA Post Number: 13 Registered: Dec-05 | I tried a pair of Senn HD580's and they sounded very nice but lacking clear punchy bass and were quite reserved in presentation. I didn't feel like I was "there". I mostly listen to '80's and '90's rock like RUSH, VH, Pink Floyd on a quality Music Hall turntable with tube preamp and tube amp. So I am going from the descriptions on a site called www.headphone.com. These seem to be the highest rated high-quality cans. I didn't list them in order of rated quality. I'm hoping to spend no more than $250. I'd really appreciate all replies, hopefully from experience. AKG K701 - $286 Beyerdynamic DT880 - $259 Senn HD 555 - $150 Senn HD 600 - $229 Senn HD 595 - $199 |
