I'd like to get a decent set of Beyerdynamics at some point for use at the computer, but I don't really feel like looking at an amp and soundcard to really make them sound good.
Try Koss PortaPros; they're cheap and sound pretty good; though the design might clip your hair(there's all sorts of mods for them). Also, Audio Technica ATH-M50s are pretty good cans for the price and cheaper than Beyers.
The Beyerdynamic cans actually sound different between the impedance levels. IIRC, they still offer 80, 250, and 600ohm versions of the DT 770/880/990s.
BD makes some low-impedance models, for no additional charge iirc, for portable devices and applications where you may not be able to provide enough power to comfortable supply 250 Ohm cans.
That's weird, a lot of people say they're too bright; but I like them. The bass goes low and is accurate, but lacks impact or boominess. The V6s are designed to be monitors; they're just very accurate and expose any flaws in recordings, etc. The ATH-M50 would be a better all-around headphone.I checked out the Sony V6's, but a lot of reviews say they have great bass but lack in the mids and highs.
