"How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?" Head-fi version:
1 to post that they want to buy a pair of headphones.
14 to post that they had a similar experience and what headphones they bought.
2 to flame some of the 14 for mentioning headphones that don't meet the criteria mentioned by the OP.
2 to flame the flamers.
1 person to ask the OP what their budget is, what music they listen to and what gear they have (if not already mentioned).
1 person to tell the OP to search as there are a million threads already on the same subject.
2 to add to the OP's confusion by stating that they'll need a (better) amp to drive the headphones.
2 more people to add that a DAC will be needed as well.
11 people to post about their amps or sound cards.
4 people to flame the posters about their suggestions being unsuitable or beyond the OPs budget.
2 more people to suggest that the people who suggested the OP need an amp and DAC are wrong.
3 people to post about how great their amp, DAC, cables and headphones are.
4 people to start a discussion on how amps, DACs and cables are contentious issues and that the OP should "listen and make up his own mind".
1 person to suggest that the discussion isn't suitable for the headphone forums and should be in Sound Science instead.
1 person to point out that the thread has now been derailed and that all the OP wanted was a pair of headphones.
1 new member to start another thread with the same question a few days later and start it all over again.
