So I can get a 2years mint condition Fostex for 350€ vs brand new 24month warranty Denon for 500€ which I find both to be good prices.
I want a headphone to satisfy my bass needs basically. Subbass is my focus when judging bass along with impact/slam. IF bass is really close I would pick the best soundstage/imaging/clarity meaning AH-7200 offers that from.what I've read. Shouty or piercing is not my thing...

Comfort is also a factor I guess since I'm spoiled by my Fidelio X2, AKG K712/812 which are all very comfortable. Also I would like to drive these with my LG V30 most of the time since it does such a great job with the others (got to trick to.high impedance mode to do justice to the K812, worth mentioning)

I'm leaning towars the Denon's but I would love to hear some opinions.

Edit: just found Ah D5200 for 100€ less than the 7200 so I thought I would throw these in the mix

I know in the past Denon used Fostex drivers in their headphones.
So the Denon AH-D7200 headphones might be using Fostex drivers.

TH-X00 Purpleheart also a possibility.

I don live in the US which makes it less so. I read they are more muddy in comparison altough elsewhere I read they are the same. it"s rather confusing. Do the denon not offer more but a different tuning ?
