welcome!! It all really depends on the sound you're looking for. I started out with the 400i and loved them but was looking for more low end response so I sold those and bought the fostex t20rp mkiii's. but those are on Amazon not massdrop! if anything I would say wait for the sennheiser 6xx to drop again! There are a ton of votes for it to be redropped so I would Highly highly recommend those for a very neutral sound. I'll probably pick up a pair when they drop again!

PaulfreakingjiI happen to love all kinds of music. I'll be listening to the Beatles one moment... Shuffle over to Yes. Pick any 80's soundtrack. some off the wall stuff. Then some classical. So all over the place.
Thank you!

sacolbertLove it! if vocals are a favorite in 80s style or even contemporary style then I love the 400i's. Vocal clarity and detail are amazing in their soundstage. They layer the sound very very well. and at $250 on Amazon, that price for those are unbeatable.
But i I would still take the sennheiser 6xx on massdrop over those! personal preference. It's a fun hobby man!

sacolbertGiven your choice in music, I'd suggest the AKG.

sacolbertThumbs up on the AKG-7xx. I thought it was a bit shy on the low end. Then I got an AMP, it deffo helps the low end. JUst based on reputation, The Senn 6xx should also serve really well.

PaulfreakingjiI grew up under the vice-like grip and 20lb weight of my Dad's Koss Pro/4AA. OK it felt like 20lbs. Had some old AKG 240s. I think I've purchased (and returned) more headphones this last year, than my 45+ year existence .. I have to admit to a love of Def Leppard and have been listening to Baby Metal.. So some metal does jump in there.. Nothing like a little GWAR to rev up your day.
My trusty Little Dot 1+ and every sub 100.00 over/on/in ear headphones.. Still haven't found good sound. That is the whole reason to upgrade. Also have a little FIIO 10k that is surprisingly nice.
Thank you to everyone who is helping me out!

sacolbertHave you modified your amp at all? I have the same one and have planned upgrades that supposedly make it better, I do feel that it can feel pretty lifeless sometimes. Also, picking up a DAC will help a lot.
