Thanks for the advice is that your final recommendation?  If the SR850 is the best out of the list and the ones you listed why wouldn't it be good just to buy the creative Z sound card for 100 and buy the samsons?

Thanks for the reply. The DT990 look interesting but how can i spend the rest of the budget on headphones if the Z is 100$? And do you have any problem with the other headphones that i listed? Any experience that you can say why they're bad?

Thanks for the advice cansmancan but like i said im pretty impatient though if i raised the price to 200 there would be too many headphones that people think are best for now i just want the best for 130$

Thanks for responding. I plan on saving up for a X-Fi  titanium HD is the DG good for its price in comparison to the titanium? Oh the music will be rock and rap mostly but i listen to a little of everything.

Well this is my first day here so i should start getting involved a little question never hurts does it?   I have been getting into the audiophile and trying out every headphone and ear buds i can find though the only set i own is Sennheiser HD 219 for year 1/2 so plenty burn'd i can only use...
