Posted this in the Denon thread a few hours ago but since I want to buy these things by tomorrow I decided to make a separate post in hopes of getting some more replies:
I've been recommended the AH-D600's by some users here when I asked for a good headphone for overall use with the perhaps biggest focus being on watching movies/tv shows and listerning to EDM. However, after looking around for a while I noticed that these headphones also seem to have a lot of people that dislike them, which makes me a bit worried.
As someone who has never listened to anything better than the M50's, would they be a good purchase for overall use? Although the main emphasis was on movies/EDM I also plan to use them for anything that comes my way which includes other song genres as well and I'd preferably use them without an amp. Thanks to European prices the cheapest I can get these for is approximately $350 if I buy them online and $410 to buy them in a physical store, but I don't mind spending the money if they're worth it. I'm also worried a bit about the weight as I've heard they can be heavy.
On the opposite side, I've seen only good about the previous D5000 model, so another question that pops up in my mind is what makes the D600 worse?
Tl;dr: Are these as good as it gets for EDM(sometimes other genres, and I also find vocals quite important)/Movies and general use for their price range?
I'm no audiophile, and as mentioned before, I haven't used anything better than the M50's. I just want a good pair of headphones for every day use at home and I don't mind putting down some money for it. I guess I already settled for these but just want a final push to finally buy them.
(Although I'm willing to put down $400 on headphones, I know the street price in the US is a lot cheaper for headphones than where I live, so if you want to recommend another pair please keep it around $300 as I will most likely have to add another $100 to it.)
Thank you in advance. ^_^
