How are these supposed to sound with classic? I know they are supposed to be for bassheads and that is completely fine with me. EDM/Dubstep/etc. is one of my more listened-to genres, but I really like a little bit of everything. That kind of pulls me to an all-arounder.   Specifically, how...

I think I'm psyching myself out of the HD518s. I just canceled my order. All of the reviews are glowing and 4 or 5 stars, but then nearly every first impression thread on head-fi acts like they are complete trash.   I understand that it has a different cup and grill design, but it has the same...

Hey,   I've been thinking about grabbing the HD558 lately, but because of the price, I've recently become more interested in the HD518. I was wondering if people could help me figure out just how much sound quality I would be losing by going down to the HD518. I like all kinds of music so I...

Hey guys, thanks for all of the great replies.   I'd be lying if I said that some of you aren't scaring me away from the HD558s, but I also realize that most of you are judging their sound quality against much more expensive headphones.   Assuming these were roughly the same price as the...

Hey,   I'm going to be buying my first pair of "real" headphones soon. I've done a fair amount of research, including 2 posts on head-fi, and I think I've come to a conclusion. I think I'm going to go with the Sennheiser HD 558s. Budget is about $150. I'll mostly be using them for music. 70%...

Any additional recommendations? I've begun to think that the HD558s are a little expensive for what I need.   Thanks, -Adam

Update: I actually have the Plantronics Gamecom 367 instead of the 777.   I don't want to taint and possible recommendations, but the headphones I've been looking at lately are the Sennheiser HD 558. These are at the top of my price range and I do have a few concerns with them. I don't believe...

Hey,   I posted here about a year back in the recommendation megathread, but I ended up just replacing my broken Razer Carcharias with a breaking Plantronics Gamecom 777. I have finally decided it is time to pull the trigger.     Headphones, not headset. Max budget is $150. I don't even...

Does anyone know what happened to the first post? Looks like it got edited out.

Quote: I'm unsure if this was clear, but I don't intend to purchase a headset. My plan was use something like the Zalman clip-on or the Antlion modmic. Though, with the Antlion being half my budget, probably not that. I've edited my previous post to clarify that I am not interested in a...

Edit: I'm not looking for a headset. I'm looking for a separate headphone and mic.   Hey, I would just like to say that I have tried to search for a similar question to mine, but the amount of results that I got back were overwhelming. Searching by date leads to posts with no relevance and...
