I highly recommend the Equation Audio RP-21 over the HD280. I have not ever listened to a ATH-A500s, but in comparison to the HD280 the RP-21s are overall a much more pleasing headphone, in my opinion. Deeper and more prevalent bass, less "chesty" midrange, and with a simple reversible mod (removal of a foam disc in front of the driver) articulate, if slightly rough, treble. I would only consider the HD280 if you want extreme isolation without using IEMs.

for closed I reccomend the DT770 pro 80s, I <3 mine, great lively bass, and good mids, with a loss in the highs but I love my bass anyways... other ones to check out would be the A500/700/900s, D2000s, other denon offerings...

My Brimar CV1988 came in yesterday:





It's a little used and not in the best shape, but it produces a sound that feels fuller/has more lush than my previous driver tube (with the excellent bass still included ). I paid $37 for a tube that should cost ~ $100, so I'm pretty happy about that as well.

~~~

Also, going after something else. If you're on the up and up, you should be able to find out what it is purty quick-like .

Paying 40 bucks for a vacuum tube.

Count on me to know what that's like. And *then* some ...
