Hey guys. I've currently got a pair of Audio Technica AD700's, and UE Triple.fi 10's, but I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones. I've been looking at the Sennheiser 600/650, AKG k701 and Dennon D2000, but from what I see, these all need expensive amps to drive them. My question is, will any of those sound better than the Audio Technica AD700 without an amp? If not, I'll put off buying one till I can get an amp as well. Also which one sounds best with an amp? Also I've got a Technics DX940 receiver if that helps. Also recommend any other good headphones in the 200-300 range if possible, thanks.

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...

This quick review is done after a few hours of listening. I bought them from B&H for the decent sum of 150$. If you've done your research you'll find out that Ultrasone HPs are known for their...

I auditioned the SRH-1840 straight out of the box, and was unsatisfied with the sound, so I decided to give them a period of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite differences...

What is wrong with phones you have? What is your listening profile? I currently have on-ear, over-ear, and behind ear phones. I don't like in-ear phones because my left-ear won't accept them.
What entertainment gap are you trying to fill?
I'm basically trying to upgrade for something that generally works all around since I listen to many varying types of music such as classical, rock, hip hop, techno, etc. So far, I'm leaning towards the Sennheiser HD600 and the E7+E9 combo as I've heard good things about both.
