Upgrading from HD202

[klost]

First of all, hi! First post here.

 

I have been using the HD202 for a while and became more interested in audio, I've been looking into two headphones the DT770 80ohms and the Shure's SRH840, what I've read is that the mids on the DT770 are recessed, so vocals wouldn't be as good as they should, and while some say the SRH840 are awesome and balanced, some say they are overhyped, I really can't choose between them. I've also looked into the HD600 this being more expensive and open, I don't want anyone around me to be able to listen to it, so I must ask compared to the HD202 how is the leakage on those?

 

I listen to POP, Classic, and KPOP. The use for the headphone is 80% music 20% gaming and movies ocassionaly.

 

Thanks guys.

Wrong forum for this, go to head-fi.org for recommendations

Jh13s and stax omegas as the logical next step

I think you should change your name to "kgetlost" because that's what you should do.

Hardly anyone here is familiar with the HD202, so won't be able to help.

 

If your first step was with your right foot, then the logical next step is with your left.  And vice versa.

 

Also the Shure is much more balanced than the Beyer, especially in the mids.  I would definitely not call it overhyped (smiley-face frequency response).  Unless you mean that too many people say too many good things about it, that may be.

 

Maybe he's just a fan of the Kong Lives Original Soundtrack (yes, it took me that long to think of a name of a movie with the initials, 'k.l.').

Actually, I'm too familiar with the HD 202.

[Dusty Chalk]

Okay, fixed.

 

You still didn't help, so the point is moot.

For a second I thought this thread was titled "Upgrading to the HD202"

Where do you start that is low enough below a $25 shit headphone to upgrade TO it?  Damn, that is hard to wrap my mind around.

It's spelled, 'copies'. 

 

Unless that's some sort of ancient Greek name.
