this thread inspired me to get some replacements for ly old sennheiser HD595's that i've been using for years, so i bought a pair of beyer DT-800's (premium 250ohm)
holy crap, these are good cans. i actually wish i got the 600's now, as the axe fx is driving these 250's very easily and so is my audio interface, but man, they sound so good. i listened to some steely dan, bryan tyler, hans zimmer and some rush (very clear differences between mp3 @320 and cd quality) and then i plugged them into the front of the axe. i kept thinking my speakers were still turned on (they were off) because the soundstage is so wide and natural, that i thought i was hearing the sound in the room (the reverbs sound incredible through these). i would totally trust these for dialling in patches.
thanks for the info in this thread...i'm really happy with these!
