HD650 vs DT880

I am looking at these two headphones and I listen to almost everything but I want something good with dubstep. Also I'm confused on wether I should get the DT880 Pro or Premium. I am also looking to game with the headphones.

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

But which is better with vocals, sound stage, instruments, and small details.

Not sure speaking I've never used the DT880s

 

It's just the HD650s lacked emphasis, and everything felt far away (they are open headphones after all)

The 650s are good for gaming but i'd get something else if you listen to a lot of dubstep.

I don't know that the DT 880 will have enough bass for your tastes.

I also plan on getting the E10K amp to along side the headphones I will be getting. Right now I am leaning towards the DT880 Pro

I found that the 558s are better in my opinion. They seemed to have more wub wub sub bass.

For dubstep and EDM, DT880 has a very good bass response, probably better compared to HD650. DT880 overall has boomier bass and extends better on the lower end

 

Some my gripe with DT880 are:

 

the thin mids, although it's worth nothing I'm comparing to HD600 which has a very musical mids.

 

Doesn't feel very open, it's a semi-open headphone after all.

lol "musical"

 

I like headphones that have "explosiony" mids. For gaming.

HE400 is another option. Good bass/kicks, and the low frequencies extends all the way down. Bad thing is it's kinda heavy and not very comfortable. Not unusable, just have to get used to it.

I like headphones that have "porny" mids. Accentuates all the yelling....

Hey guys not just dubstep, everything but soul and weird stuff. Even classical.

I have dt770s and hd 650. The difference in how they sound is there. However, they both sound great, and you can only hear the difference having them side by side. Soundstage depends on brain processing electrical impulses that get to it, and they depend on acoustical waves that get to your eardrum. It's been said that open headphones have better soundstage as there isn't any resonance or interferences. But then again, speakers have the best soundstage, and they are everything about resonances and interferences unless you're in a acousticly isolated room, so go figure :)

Your brain sees the world in contrasts. That's how you percieve light, and sound. It's the same listening to one for an hour or the other for an hour. Not completely the same, but as long as both headphones are clear, the only thing that matters is if you perfer sounds a bit more lower or higher, that's all. So get the comfier one, to me, 770s are a bit more comfy, and senns, when compared side by side, a bit more fun. But as I said, absolute numbers and frequencies mean nothing to your brain.

You have to pick a side. They can't possibly both be good.

Good thing they aren't, and my side is right.
