There are some headphones that are really good at kind of testing the waters as well… beyers are good for changing their sound through something as simple as some equalization or pad swaps. Nighthawks come to mind here for this signature at a budget… maybe some others but nothing is coming to my mind right now…). I think your current idea of trying out the beyers is a good one… just don’t jump head first into the rabbit hole at first… experiment, if possible, with different sound signatured headphones… 880 is a neutral bright headphone, 990 is a V signature, that leaves Warm(Fidelio X2HR would be a great cheap way to try this), Neutral(can also be mid centric, sennheiser is a good one to try this signature), Harman(akg k371 comes to mind a bit here), and Dark(at times you will be a combination of Warm and Dark as well such as T1 3rd generation where it’s super bassy but has darker treble. What would you recommend as a start to understand what I’m looking for? If it helps, I do use Hifishark to scour the websites for a good deal on something audio related.

Depreciation of an items value is quite common so it shouldn’t be too hard to find something at a good price. I will always recommend that anyone take the route that saves them money, provided they still gain that same quality of sound… I would recommend looking into the alternatives I believe I have mentioned previously to see if you can find cheaper options to you…ĭo keep something in mind, while the 3rd party market seems a bit daunting at first you can definitely save yourself a lot of money by just buying used… Over here beyers can be found for $100-$125, spark at $70, and E30 at like $90 sometimes. Mathematically that’s quite a bit higher than I would expect… since beyers should be cheaper in europe and other areas out that way. Hmm, let me think… so over here DT beyers of the lower entry are $200 maximum at their 600 ohm variation… Adding a liquid spark those are typically $100 and the E30 here is $130 bringing it to $430. Do you agree that such setup, for such budget is a good deal? Should I also consider a different setup, with this budget? If I’ll be going this route, I expect to spend around 450€ for the setup. My plan at this point, with the current information that I’ve gathered, is to purchase the Liquid Spark Amp + the Topping E30 and the 990/880 600ohms, to understand which one fits my preference the best, as I’ve no clue what truly expects me. In regards to the design part, where you suggested the Manufaktur, I’ve read somewhere else before that changing the colour of the pads, will change the pads and therefore give the headphones a different sound signature. I do like the aesthetics of the chrome versions though… As for comfort… that’s quite subjective but I haven’t had issues with them. Shouldn’t have to worry about build quality on beyers like, at all lol.

Thanks for letting me know about the aesthetic options out there, but I’m looking for quality and comfort before design!
