Quote: I guess it worked, then, because most reviews I've seen for the DT 990 don't mention the Pros. 

Do you think you can comment on the differnece between the DT990 Pro and the DT990 Premium? I noticed there wasn't a 600 ohm pro version.

Thanks, Brooko, that was a nice breakdown.

I've read people recommend the Senn HD600s in other threads like this, I've also seen the Beyer DT990s, Grado SR325is and the AKG K701. Any opinions on these headphones?

Quote: What about the Objective2 amp? I've read that it's really good, like the most competitive amp in its price range, and it's $100 cheaper than the Matrix M-Stage.

Honestly, I would prefer to just buy something that I can trust to be good. I've never in my life dealt with modding any sort of electronics, its not something I'm really comfortable with doing. 

Do you think you could elaborate on the t50 and why they're so good?  http://www.amazon.com/Fostex-T50RP-Studio-Headphones/dp/B0002MT6RY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336344424&sr=8-1 Are these the right ones? Are they really only $75?

And if I have zero experience soldering?

How I currently listen to music is either through my iPhone 3G or my Dell Studio 1555 with the stock sound card and some Sennheiser HD203's. I'm trying to save up some money to really step up my audiophile game and I think it'd be best to just hold off on buying intermediary stuff, save some...
