i'm looking for a good pair of headphones for all-around music listening, more specifically targeting rock music (but not limited to). this will be my first set of quality headphones, and i'd like to ask reviewer's opinions regarding these pairs.
i've been reading up on countless forums for several days, and my choice has been whittled down to the Sennheiser HD580 and the Grado SR225. My budget right now won't allow for a separate amp, but within the next few months I could easily save up to buy a decent ~$200-300 amp.
these headphones will strictly be used on my computer (i have a TB santa cruz sound card), and will be used pretty often (2-4 hrs. a day) for gaming and for listening to music.
i'm basically looking for a comfortable pair that can take the place of my speakers and i'd like to stick with the two aforementioned headphones. of course i'm not strictly stuck on those two, but after reading up and posting in several forums i'd like to stick with those two for a discussion on their pros/cons. i've heard that the grados are great for rock, but that the sennheisers are better for gaming imaging and are more comfortable. any help on this dilemma would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
