My setup is: PC Soundcard (X-Fi Titanium HD) -> Amp (Marantz PM7200) -> Speakers (B&W 603 s2).
I often play games or listen to music (FLAC or 320 kbps mp3) through headphones (Sennheiser HD 25-1) plugged into the PM7200. Music I mainly listen to is house / dance / electronic (plenty of bass often involved). Just lately I've realised I've always been somewhat underwhelmed by the HD 25-1 'phones and thought I might upgrade.
Budget is £300 but I don't want to spend it for the sake of it. Would be glad of some suggestions ... perhaps it might be better to get a headphone amp as well / instead?
As for closed / open design ... I'm unlikely to go out of the house wearing them so sound leakage is not a problem; basically sound quality is what I'm after.
Would be a bonus if they work well with iphone/ipods too.
Cheers
