My being an experienced participating member over on Head-Fi for a few years now, have come to appreciate the finer points of recommending headphones which are nearly all dependent upon the proformance and tone of the jack they're plugged into. Ergo, my first post in this thread refering the OP there, due to needing his feedback as to the system he'g going to be using etc, which on this time delay board here simply would be relatively quicker over there.
I have the AKG-701s, great balanced sound with extended and energetic high frequency response and likewise to the Beyer DT-880s are studio monitor lite in their lower end frequency responce, both highly sensitive in terms of needing above average power[current], to preform to their potential,as well as warmer sources, or else they would be a poor choice.
Although with my Meier Corda Opera Headphone Amplifier/intergral DAC the K-701s shine as well do my Beyer DT-9909'(05e), having better bass response than the DT-880s...
Each of the above are extreamly comfortable, relative to my now sold Grado RS-2s which are the most easy to find to drive phones to their near full preformance potential, with a unique on stage presentation as opposed to 10 rows back and a wider soundstage presentation of the previously mentioned phones, when properly driven...
Hope this helps OP~
