Hi, I'm new to the forums and I'd like some help here in my new pair of headphones, I live in Brazil and here good heaphones are pretty overpriced, in reality I've never seen other Sennheisers, AKGs and Beyerdynamics. My father bought me my real pair of headphones, my HD 201, and from there I sticked to Sennheiser and bought my HD 449, I have the oportunity to get a used DT880 and a new K601. I actually love prefer my 449s but there's something about my 201s that I really like and don't know exactly what it is. I want to buy a better pair of headphones that gives me a different take on music than that of my 449s, but I don't have the oportunity to listen to the headphones before buying, I want something with more sparkle on the treble but I don't know if the 880s would be too much, my sister has a pair of HTF-600s (I wanted to listen to these and was responsible for this buy) and I really enjoy the bass from these cans, so I'd like something with a good bass, especially sub-bass, but I also love the mids from my 449s, but can't help but feel sometimes like there's something missing in them, so maybe I want something (I don't know how to describe that) lighter or more in your face mids, so I want to know if I should go on the safer bet the K601 and how much of a difference they would make or I should risk on the DT 880. In what aspects which one of them are better? What genres they excel at? If I think the treble from the 880s are too much can EQ solve that? Are the mids from the 880s that bad? How is the bass from the K601s? I don't know for how much time I'm going to have the oportunity to buy these cans for this price, so the faster I can know about this the better, I've taken a look at both but I haven't found a comparison between both and my 449s so I can't help but feel a little lost, I can be new to the forums but I've been here reading a lot before deciding on my 449s and even after that. There was a time in which I was a little addicted to reading about headphones and amps here so I already know some of you. Sorry for my English, I don't consider myself fluent but I try to do my best to deal with it ^^
