Hi sifus,
I'm planning to get a headphone for pc use (gaming 70%, movies 30% mostly, music occasionally). I currently have steelseries siberia which I rarely used, it sounded ok but not what I would call nice sounding...i know, it's gaming gear not meant for audiophile. Most of the times, I prefer my HT setup - combo of monitor audio BR2 fronts, acoustic energy aego T sat 7.1 setup, Rythmik F12 sub powerd by Denon AVR1912 amp. Compared to Siberia rm300+ cans, it's just unacceptable sound.
Now, i've heard people saying how good a pair of good cans can be, some even prefer to HT setup. is it true?
I was at Jaben the other day and dont have much time but tried the highly recommended Bayerdynamic DT770Pro w/ Govibe Martine+. Based on my short listening experience from my smartphone, it doesnt sound all that different from Siberia. I mean, it's better but just slightly (i'm not sure if the 770Pro has been burn in sufficient enough though).
Thus, need some advise from sifus here. Which pair of cans would suit me. looking for a pair of can which would go deep down on low freq with impactful bass. Clarity is secondary & not too bright. Any recommendation? My budget ~rm1K to 1.5K, not planning to spend too much as I doubt I will use headphone regularly unless it sounds as good as the home theater, mainly late night use as not to disturb sleeping family members. thanks in advance

thanks bro, i'll check them out. however, a quick search on reviews indicate these are not very good with bass. You are spot on with the soundstage.

Anymore suggestion? I'm new to headphone, so looking for the best bang for the buck
