I'm new to high end phones (don't even know if my Sony MDR-V700 counts), learning and reading about headphones have put me off the idea of ever buying headphones...it's pretty sad, I started exited on getting new headphones but now I don't even know anymore.   It seems really hard to get an...

Hmm, now I'm torned again between the K550 and the Pro 750, which one is the most fun? I'm kinda a bass head so should I go with 750? I want to have fun listening to music/movies/games. I don't want something clinical right now.   So is the 750 the best option?   if it is I'm going...

Quote:     I'm not looking for anything portable, I'm looking for something that handles music/movies/games (in that order) well. Also, I want a closed headphone and I've heard that they are the the closest sounding to an open headphone.   I will get a card with a great DAC and...

So I'm pretty sure that I'm going with the AKG K550, it seems like that it's the headphone most people/reviewers agree on that it's pretty freakin' good.   I hope I wont regret it.

But from what I've read it seems that most people actually think that the K550s are amazing, so I wonder if they are all around good or just amazing listening to certain music and mixing?   I'm just worried a bit about the bass, do they handle the bass good? I mean, if I listen to a movie...

Quote:   Well if we take ProTools out of the eqation, where do we stand then? is Ultrasone PRO 750 the best option then? because I can always get a seperate pair of headphones just for PT later on, but now I'm searching more for entertainment headphones. Because in the proffesional...

Quote:   So it's between the PRO750 and AKG550 I guess, but I'd really like your opinion on the MDR-1R also if you have any. I also have a big head so I don't think that the 550s would cause any problems.   Which one of those 2 have the best sounding bass? I also heard that the 550s...

Quote:   Well the card I have now doesn't really support Win7, there's a beta patch that's absolutly terrible, it was great when I had XP but now it makes me cry hahaha. On headphones I'm willing to spend somewhere between 375 and 450 dollars. I could get the Creative card for...

Quote:     I'm really not a gamer, so that's not what's most important, it's mostly for movies/series, does that change anything? Also, would love to get your reply.

Quote:   Thank you so much for all the suggestions, I should have specified that I'm looking for closed headphones, I don't need the world to hear what I'm hearing. But with that said I went trough your list and I must say that the Beyerdynamic DT990 does seem very interesting, but I'm...

Quote:   Hi!   I listen to everything, but I do enjoy listening to electronic music at the moment, I like stuff with bass, but I also like metal/rock/pop, whatever really. I also work in ProTools.  I can tell you what games I'm playing at the moment, they are "DayZ,L.A Noir...

No one? I'd really appreciate your opinions :)

Hi!   So I've been looking up headphones and soundcards all day to gather information on what's good and bad. I haven't bought a headphone for about 7 years so I'm kinda out of the loop. What I have now is "Sony MDR-V700" (which I really loved when I bought them) and a Creative Fatal1ty...
