Thanks, it's leaning towards a par of DT 990 (or maybe AKG K240) will try in store when i have time...

Audient iD14 and Focusrite 2i2 you say hmm who would know it would be this complicated to buy a par of good headphones.

Thanks for trying in your phone!

The store says 250 ohm cant be driven by a regular pc headphone-jack or a regular tv @mekonin do you have an external sound card, music rig or headphone amp? Might pick the 80 ohm version, would be nice to be able to use them when watching a film or just tv.
Headphone amp seems a bit to much fuss...(?)

Right now I'm using Audient iD14 and Focusrite 2i2, both of which have dedicated headphone amps.
I tried plugging the DT990 into my phone (Realme 5 pro) and the levels were decent enough, it didn't shatter any windows but I could enjoy the music.
Do TVs have headphone jacks now?

That's a good tip! Phone is full of favorite tunes, that or maybe play some youtube list if the store have the possibility.

I was shopping for the perfect headphones a few years ago. I made a playlist with maybe half a dozen tracks, each testing some aspect of the sound. I had a trap track testing the bass frequencies, a noisy ambient cassette pop track by Grouper testing for clarity, a minimalist composition by David Lang, a shitty pressed disco song etc. Oh and I listen to a lot of podcasts, so I had one of those too to test the vocal range. If you have the chance to test the gear, this is a recommended method. Make sure to use songs you know by heart, so you know how they are supposed to sound.

I use my DT 990 the 250Ohm version almost daily for more than 5 years and I never had a single issue with them. To me they are very comfortable. I might change the cushions in some time since they got a bit flat, but they are still soft.

I think they can play loud enough from the standard phone, but I guess that really depends on the phone's amp. The 80Ohm version would do better in terms of loudness for sure, but there is some fidelity to be sacrificed. I'd suggest going to the shop with your phone and test it right there.

No need to be closed design! I want good sound and I want them to be comfortable even after long sessions!
I'm used to have cheap headphones so some built quality would also be nice.

Ok DT 990! Do you have 250 Ohm version?
If so, can you use them (play loud) with a smartphone?

Do you need them to be closed design? I can not speak for other models, but I use both Beyerdynamic DT 770 and DT 990 for work and at home. DT 770 are great for isolating outside noise but can be a bit tiresome after long sessions and they can sound a bit boxy because of the design. DT 990 on the other hand sound very natural and I love them, just don't use them in a noisy environment since they are as open designed as it gets.

I'm looking for something to replace my HD-201s for home listening (and also fiddling around with my filez in Ableton).

Seems like the Sennheiser HD-20X are really my price range. Do they really improve much at you go from 201 to 205-II or whatever it is? How about the 400 series? Will I notice a big improvement if I move up to those (Keep in mind that some of my filez are flacs and wavs that I have started buying not too long ago ) Are you just paying for more isolation with the HD-4XX's? What do you guys think about the Grado SR60i/80i?

Thanks!
