i am too closing in on the dt880 , waiting for other suggestions

The build quality of that Dt880 is matchless...its built to last forever. I have seen and heard one ( I own a dt 990 Pro..one hell of a can for bass heads) its better than HD650 in every aspect.

I bought Beyer DT880 600 Ohms from beyerdynamic India Private Limited 2 months ago. It is a Semi-Open headphone and considered more on the bright side(Treble peak) than neutral. I've Schiit Modi/Vali stack and it just sounds awesome without any EQing

YMMV

Rock and Metal will bleed your ears to death on a flat neutral headphone if you are in to Lamb of God and Motley Crue on the other side.

For stereo and while listening to Metal I use my Denon/Mission combo or Technics ( SC- CH 900 my favourit sugary dark sound) stereo system only they sound right. If ever I use my neutral Dynaudio (52SE) and Creek (Destiny) I always bleed to death!!!! Even the Denon and Mission ( MX5) need serious Equalization to sound right cause the PMA1500AE and DCD1500AE are neutral in nature with source direct ON.

Those less than perfect ( read f%$dup) recordings from earache and roadrunner will kill your ears. If you wanna monitor that's a different story but if you wanna enjoy then get a warm laid back can with the right amount of attack, aka hiend Denons,B&Ws etc etc.

Thanks for the immediate reply and sorry for the late follow up ( diwali and work ) ...ok i mainly need it for listening to the final mix and rendering it .......if in anyway the headphone colors the frequency , i am scared it might destroy months of sleepless nights , that's why i specifically need as close to absolute neutral as possible given my budget i know where i stand and i cannot ask for more , again thanks for your suggestions they have immensely helped me out , i have a final query i'd be making a thread about and trust me its big probably will make me bankrupt for a long time hope you'll help me in that too
