We should all post pics of our dusty, chocolate-covered HW.
SG's pic is a total winner! Love the Karaoke Move Hits Collection CD too

Normal wear and tear? Both your headphones and keyboard look really filthy... That's not just some dust on them...Spring Goose wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 7:41 amWell it isn't a false statement, when i have a broken one after just a couple of years of normal wear and tear.

I don't believe that you can say you are looking after these things.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.
Okay, that's good to know. I am still deciding on one, especially not sure about going with open back or semi-open back. It's not urgent, but I would like to buy a new pair at the soonest.pdxindy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 5:17 pmI have the DT 880 Pro 250ohm and the 990 version.LoveEnigma18 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 10:43 am That's really good to know, thanks. Your and cryophonik's suggestions are leaning me towards trying DT 880 Pro 250 Ohm, which is a good thing since that reduces a lot of confusion between two 7xx and two 9xx options.
They are both comfortable. I find the open back 990 gives me less ear fatigue after few hours of use. My studio is very quiet so I use open backs most of the time.

I just think that Beyerdynamic's German engineering isn't as great as it's made out to be, for the price. I mean its not like i pissed on the headphones or kicked them around, i just used them normally, for a lot of hours every day. & its an old keyboard i got out of storage with nicotine stains on the keys! OMG

My family took me to see the musical Grease in London a few months ago. Brilliant!

So, I have concluded that I am OK with either semi-open or open back headphones. Since I have a separate studio bedroom, I think it would not be very different than listening to on speakers with the same ambient sound/noise around.
For semi-open back, I have DT 880 Pro 250 ohm as my choice.
For open back, based on comments here and elsewhere, I am hesitant about going Beyerdynamic route, and so thinking about one of the Sennheiser headphones - HD 560S, HD 600, or HD 650. I am not able to decide which one of these if I go for fully open-back. HD 560S would be probably the easiest of the three to drive using my audio interface and then HD 650 as it has better sensitivity. I don't want to buy a dedicated headphone amp outright as based on my research Komplete Audio 6 MK1 has one of the best headphone output specs I have seen for any audio interface and should drive any of these fairly well.
I listen to alternative-pop/rock, hip-hop, R&B, and electronic (not EDM) music.
I aim to produce beat-driven music (with/without my vocals, male) blending the same styles of music I listen to.
While I think it boils down to personal preference now, any last suggestions on which one would be the best as my first "open" type headphones would be appreciated.

Kept it simple and ordered Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro 250 ohm headphones. Arriving tomorrow. I will get back with my first impressions soon.
If needed in the future, I can go fully open back between one of the Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic ones.
Thanks once again for your time and suggestions.
