Philips HP1000 headphones & Amp recommendation
HP-1000 are pretty hard to drive, i use my audigy2 zs to drive them, and i can push the bass as far and low as i wish without any kind of distortion or clipping, so the audigy2 is powerfull enough, if i use the hp1000 on my mp3 player or my laptop, i wil have very little bass and i can't boost...- Drake

Beginnner headphones ~ $60 - $ 100
mozillion you might want to consider the philips HP890 they wil cost around 70-90 euro's but they outmatch easily almost every headphone in that class and higher. and the best is that they are easy to get in holland.- Drake

Headphone with very large huge soundstage
HD595 has farrrrr less soundstage imho but they are a bit more refined, both headphones are very competetive next to each other but i prefere the hp1000 over the 595 becouse it is more comfortable to me and has the best soundstage there is for a 100-250 euro headphone. anyways my head is quit...- Drake

My final thoughts on the 555s...
Jup the only decent creative card is the audigy 2 (the 1 sucks) but even better would be to go with an m-audio soundcard. but in this case the missing bass is becouse of the very poor sblive- Drake

Headphones for PC
As a dutch guy i would recommend the philips HP1000 (around 150). But it depends on were you are living becouse they are very hard to get in the usa, otherwise i would go for the audio technica 500, of perhaps the sennheiser 555.- Drake
