Thanks!

After 5 years of service, my AHD2000s broke over the weekend.  I'm looking for a replacement in the $300 or less range.   I use them mostly for PC gaming, but also some music listening as well (no one preferred genre), plugged into a Soundblaster Z.  Noise leakage will not be an issue.  I've...

I ended up ordering another Z from a different retailer. Got the real thing this time. Sounds decent enough and I'm happy.

  Thanks, but I'm looking for a sound card as opposed to a headphone amp. :)

My trusty 8 year old X-Fi died last week and had to replace it in a hurry. I ordered a refurbished Soundblaster Z off of Amazon, but was shipped a counterfeit that turned out to be a Recon3D. Interestingly, the sticker on the back had the product and serial number for a Soundblaster Z, but...

Holy crap these are nice!  Thanks again everyone :)

Yup.  I think I'm going to get the Gr07s.  It's not too far from my price point and people seem to dig it.  Thanks to all .:)

There's such a slippery slope.  This is my 3rd or 4th time researching headphones of some sort.  It always starts at one budget point and quickly escalates.  I started at $150.  Got to $180.  Now I'm considering $200 :)

I'm now also considering the  DBA-02 mkII

Quote: I work with computers, so generally when I get home, I don't go anywhere near them. :) Anyway, I'm vacillating quite a bit.  I'm wondering if it is worth jumping up to $180 to grab the GR07

Quote:   A mix of rock, pop, electronic, hip hop and classical.  I guess I'll need a jack of all trades, but I'd skew toward more toward rock than the others.

Quote: That's amazing.  Same quality for almost half the price?

Let me ask one more stupid question.  Between the ATH-CKM500is for about $90 on Amazon, the Shure SE215k for $100 and the EPH 100 SL at $150, which will give the best bang for my buck?

Thanks to everyone for the suggetsions.  Lots of research to do now. :)

I'm considering the Yamaha EPH-100SL, but the lack of volume controls and mic if I get a phone call is a minor ding.  For the price, is there anything better I can get?  I'm not looking for anyting more than a nice detailed sound.  I'd be willing to jump to $200 if there is a considerable...
