Buy the Alessandro MS-1, they sound amazing with metal from what I've heard. The HD555 & HD595 are more movie/classical-music cans, at least that's what I think. Regarding comfort, of course an "around the ear" 'phone has better comfort than an "on-ear" can. Although I don't think that...

I say pick the D2000 and an amp since the only difference between D2k & D5k is the cable, and the wooden can. The speaker is exactly the same. And from by looking at your music genres it sounds like the Denon sound signature would fit them perfectly. Force

Why not just set it up right out of the Xbox?

About as bad as it can get, I don't know any other headphones that leak more actually... Maybe the SteelSeries Siberia, but I wouldn't call those audiophile headphones. Force

Could you please make one for Denon AH-D1001K (The black ones)? Here a hi-res pictures of them you could use: Would be very happy with a wallpaper of these headphones. Kind Regards, Force.

I'm in the same suit as you, I've been suggested the M50, ES7, HD448 & Denon AH-D1001. Force

Wow axe, those wallpapers looks amazing! Keep up the good work.

A 'phone from Grado would suit your preferences perfectly. As Stitch says, the one that fits your budget best is SR80i. Check that one up.

I agree with jawang; Audio-Technica M50 is what you're looking for.

I've got exactly the same question as yeahman68. Force

Denon AH-D1001K maybe? It's gotten loads of good reviews. Audio-Technica ES7 could also be an option maybe. Kind Regards, Force.

Both the HD555 & HD595 does leak a lot of sound. Everyone in the room/bus will hear what you listen to. If you're going to use the headphone for portable use, choose either the Audio-Technica M50 or Denon AH-D1001. Kind Regards, Force.

Same thing happened to me once aswell, did although disappear in a few days. Kind Regards, Force.

If I were you I'd go for the Denon D7000 & AKG K701. Kind Regards, Force.

Are you looking for Sennheisers only? - Force

I'd also like to know about these. Anyone tried them? Quote: Originally Posted by astroid These need an amp, my ipod cant power them , epic fail Sennheiser. Ah ok, how about sound quality when powered using a computer? - Force

Thanks for all helpful replies, really appreciates it. Quote: Originally Posted by Acix The GMP 250 are great, but they will need some amp (minimum a nice sound card). With the GMP 8.35 you can start with out any amp, they are 35 ohm. Here more info: The German Maestro GMP 8.35 D...

Is "Denon AH-D1001" & "Creative Aurvana Live!" the same thing? Kind Regards, Force.
