[UPDATE]
Friend has convinced me to spend more since I plan to use these for as long as I can, and that $160 extra isn't that much over a span of 3-5 years.
I'm currently deciding between the AKG-K550's and the Denon AH-D2000's. Does anyone have any comments about these? Or other pairs of headphones in the $200-300 range.
I like the looks of the K550's a lot more then the AH-D2000's, but in terms of sound quality I have no idea which is better.
Again, these will not be used with an amp, and will be powered through my iPod Video (5th gen, wolfson dac).
Been reading a lot of reviews but couldn't quite find one that compared both of them coming from someone who owned both.
For those who have had both before, which did you prefer and why?
I've also tried my friends ATH-M50's (white box) and they sounded pretty good. Would these be better then either of the Ultrasones?
I plan on using these mainly for music, but do also plan on using them for my PC while gaming. Probably 70% music, 30% gaming.
Music genres I listen to are (in order from most to least): House, Dubstep, RnB, and soft rock here and there.
I would like to use these cans outside of my house, so if you have something else to recommend please keep this in mind (would like to stick with my current choices, unless you think greatly your suggestion would be better).
I will not be using an amp with these headphones (although I may think about getting a Fiio E6/E11 or something down the road).
Thanks.
