Upgrading from DT 770's and need help...

Well although I really love my cans I have to replace a driver on the left side. Since I listen to everything exclusively on my headphones before I can have them repaired I have to buy a new set of cans or no video gaming, TV or movies for the next month or so.

First off I went to listen to some cans today and only the 880 Pros are in the stratosphere I am considering and they were nohwere what I like or want. I actually came away reliving why I love the DT 770's so much, and am actuall listening to them right now as I type this.

Overall some of the qualities I am looking for in my new set of cans is something that has authoritative but more controlled bass than the 770's. The bass is plenty but a little overemphasized and at times a little 'sloppy'. I want clearer more emphasized mid ranges, and airier highs with a better overall sound-stage.

So far based on reviews ( haven't listened to these yet) I am considering the Denon ADH 2000s, Ultrasone 900's, Beyerdymanic 990 Premiums 250 ohms. I'm looking for cans probably 350 and below. I just saw the Ultrasone 900's at $312 on Amazon and they sold out and went to $500. I am now wondering if I really missed out. I prefer closed headphones btw but am open to open if there is not tons of sound leakage. I will be playing BF3 late and do not want explosions waking up anyone... lolz

I will be using the new set for everything including gaming, as well as TV and movie watching and music listening.

Thank you for the help my OCN buddies!

I am also considering the Denon ADH 5000's if they come down to the mid or low 300's.
How do these compare to their little brother 2000's???

Thanks for the advice brotha.

I'm running strait through my Titanium HD.
I'm leaning more toward either the Denon 2000 or 5000...

Thanks Slytown.
So the 2000's will even benefit from the amp ehhh?
