So like the title says I am trying to choose between these three.


Reasons... Well I think I need to stop buying headphones and  I was going to get the SENNHEISER HD 8 Dj to write to and I need some excitement but detail/clarity as well. I figured I would skip it and go for one of these and be done for a while especially since 830 is my limit.. I am getting excited even typing this. Below are my priorities in exact order:
 
1. BASS: not just a tiny bit north of neutral like a 7520 or mt220 or something but BASSHEAD LEVELS and not sloppy. The more the merrier. 
2. TRANSIENT RESPONSE/ATTACK: I want it to punch and kick and slap and all that!!!
3. DETAIL: really important to me as the little details pluck the imagination strings of my creativity.
4. IMAGING: I dont want it to sound all melted together and would like the positioning to be worthy of the price.
5. MIDS: I don't mind them falling behind the bas a tiny bit but I still want to enjoy them
6. SOUNDSTAGE: just not congested slightly above your decent 300 dollar headphone is fine.
7. TIMBRE: real as possible
8. HIGHS: I can turn down the highs and tolerate brightness but I would prefer the least sibilant or essy one(reason it is 8 is because this is preferred but least important).
 
Feel free to help me by just using the numbers and commenting accordingly ie The dido does #1 really well but not 7 so well etc..
 
I will greatly appreciate any and all help.. 

 
Thanks
what I listen to.. (bass here isnt that tight to begin with):

below is not really what I listen to as much but I figured it would show some good bass for test

I haven't heard the Dido but Hope is definitely better than TH600.

And of course, TH900 is significantly better than TH600.

i would have jumped straight for the th900 if I could afford it.

The only one I've tried has been the Dido of course, but question, why not include the Ultrasone Signature DJs?
I believe that they are the best "basshead" headphone I have tried yet and it is a TRULY closed-back headphone (i.e. no leaking like the Denon/Fostex) and I do prefer it over the Didos.

I cant afford them... I need to look for a good price on them.

Got it.
Sent you a PM for an option you can check out.
 
Regarding the Final Audio ones, I'm just concerned about comfort...

for some reason I have only had a couple of headphones that the comfort bothered me. I am not picky there.

There are some ways to get around the comfort level for the Pandora Hope. We can chat offline on this if you get one.

what is the bass like on this compared to the denon line. Is it more or less and how is the quality of the bass?

 

[grizzlybeast]

so I think I will just go for the pandora VI
 
if and when i am able to again. Thanks for all of the help.
