I am having quite a dilemma whether to buy the AD700 or HD595.
This is indeed going to be my first pair of 'good' headphones.
Although i am currently using Sony MDR-XD200 i got from my friend for like £15.
I play games on PS3 and PC, most all genres from shooters to racers. I would like to have that good open soundstage.
I listen to the likes of Muse, Guns N Roses, Metallica and sometimes bass heavy stuff like Pendulum and Noisia.
I also watch a lot of movies too.
I dont mind the lack of Ommpph from the bass but as long as its there and fills in nicely it should be fine.
The thing is i live in UK, and AD700s are £110 and HD595s are also around £110 on Amazon.
I probably wouldnt buy from Ebay either...
So which is the best for the price im paying?
Btw, im using Logitech X-540s which is connected by analogue from PC onboard AC97 ports and red/white RCA from PS3.
So most likely to plug the headphones into the headphone port on the sound control unit of the speakers.
I will probably get a good amp in future, also i have a receiver downstairs with optical input, so i will probably move that into my room at some point.
Thanks!
