I was originally considering a HD 600 or 650 but being somewhat of a n00b I think I'm gonna start slow with something more "friendly" and work my way up. After quite a bit of research the 325is and HD 598 are the two headphones that interest me the most and from reading a lot about them they...

Quote: Thanks, lots of good information there.   As for what I'm gonna use I'm still trying to decide. Originally I was thinking about an iPod but since these will be mainly for home use I don't see why I shouldn't use my laptop either that or just use a CD player (I have a rather...

Quote: Right, thanks for pointing that out that was a typo on my part, I meant that $350 was the budget on the headphones themselves and I realized I would have to have a proper amp to power them not that the $350 was my entire budget for both. You're right I can see how someone would...

I listen to a lot of these genres and was wondering what my best bet would be. I have a budget of around $350 give or take. I'm considering the Sennheiser HD 600, HD 598, HD 650, Beyerdynamic DT880 (250 or 600), Audio Technica ATH-AD900, HiFiman HE-300 or the Sennheiser HD 650 if Amazon puts...

I just bought a pair of 325is' online and am very excited to get it. I thought about getting a cd player for it and maybe dabbling in some SACD's as well. One of my friends is selling his C-S5VL in like new condition for a good price and I'm thinking of getting it, anyone know how well this...

I saw the $350 price as well last week, or whenever it was, and wasn't prepared to buy anything at the time. Since then I have been pretty much researching non-stop  and everything I read about the 650 I like. Of course now that I am ready to buy they jacked the price up to $500. I guess I'll...

I've been doing a lot of research lately and have been liking what I hear about beyerdynamic's 2 models. The thing is everyone says "go with the 600 ohm version" and how they are "easier" headphones to drive. I'm looking to spend around $300-400 on an amp, but I'll go a tad higher if I have to...

I'm looking for something $300 or under, although I will spend a little more if I have to, I will be using mostly an iPod with FLAC files and a more portable amp (thinking Fiio E7 maybe). I listen to mostly rock (of the classic variety) and blues but do enjoy jazz on occasion as well as other...
