What would you do in my place?

I have both HD555 and HD650 and a Shanling PH100 headphone amp.

 

I've moved to a speaker system for all music and a decent 5.1 for computer gaming...

 

Sometimes when I play games, I need to use headphones so I have HD555 plugged into my receiver. The HD650 w/ Shanling PH100 amp just collecting dust. Do you guys think it's worth using the 650 over the 555s with the receiver? Should I just stick with the HD555 and sell the other stuff? I don't see myself ever needing to use again really... the speakers are better and more convenient smily_headphones1.gif

Sell the stuff you don't use.

One more vote for selling the other stuff.

I'd also sell what you aren't using. Might as well pass it along to someone who will use it.

I would buy 72 more pairs of headphones and build half a dozen amps.

 

Don't do what i would do. If you're really not into it, sell it.

Check to see if the headphone out on your 5.1 receiver can power the hd650's then sell the other amp and the 555's.

Thanks for the input everyone. I am pretty sure the receiver can handle the headphones (it's an older pioneer elite) but if I'm just playing games I don't find quality matters that much. I've decided to sell my good stuff with mixed emotions heh.

It's hard to sell at first, but it's definitely the way to go.

It can sometimes be hard to sell something that you have enjoyed inthe past, even if you don't use it anymore...but it is a good idea though.
