Thanks for replying! I will definitely consider eBay for the akgs if I get them

I realize that they are both very different but long and mcquade has the beyers for $165 and I was going to pair them with a Schitt Magni. The K167s are around the same price and I've heard they have a vey wide soundstage for closed back cans. I mostly game on PC and listen to mostly rap and rock.

What would be the cheapest acceptable amp for the hd600s?

Amazing thread.

Wouldn't removing the grills alone be much easier?

Few more months and these will be mine at last!

If I have a xonar dx will the e17 essentially replace it?

Aren't you afraid you'll damage the drivers?

I've read that thread before but the OP never gave his final thoughts or whether or not he ordered from them :(

It seems that they have b stock headphones for really cheap, but has anyone have experience with them? http://www.dakmart.com/product_info.php?cPath=4_9_28&products_id=4509

Well, I guess that answers my question. Thanks!

Thanks, have you ever tried the hd650s? Do you think they could compare better to the k701s than the hd600s? I listen to dubstep and rock quite a lot.

Oh ok, because I have a Xonar DX and was thinking of using an e11 and the HD600s for gaming

By Dolby Headphone I meant the virtual surround that cards like the Xonar line have. Sorry for the confusion

Do you use dolby headphone
