I listen to the Canton speakers whenever I can, so the DT is really just for nights and quiet sundays. But you are right, i probably should give a try to others too. I really don't like the idea of having more headphones and change them whenever I listen to softer/ harder music. Yes, I'm lazy. It's hard to get an "optimal" headphone for me coz my taste of music is changing really fast these days. Or maybe i should say its getting broader. I think I might get a new pair once I finally find a genre that I stick with for a longer time. Not like an optimal headphone would be easy for anyone. I just caught MADs post about wanting the best headphone ever. Well I don't think there is such a thing. It's like with almost everything else, you always have to compromise. But if you are not like me, and have a settled taste in music, you can find the one that fits best. Good luck ;]
