compuplus has them for 160

Modest mouse- good news for people who love bad news.

The 50 one is easier to drive, but they both sound the same.

im pretty sure there isnt any difference in sound

Once i was wearing some cheap IEMs and i rubbed my hand over my crt monitor, and the static electricity somehow traveled through me and then contacted with my headphones and shocked me. () It really, really, hurt.

Well, as long as you listen with some volume, the music will probably over power anything else thats not too loud. Other than that, there isnt much isolation.

I just got a pair of HD595s and they sound wonderfull but my ears stick out into the cups and hit the rather hard plastic grill, which after a little while can become quite uncomfortable. I tried sticking some thin foam pads from some older broken headphones in there which made them feel better...

I guess you got yours from comp-u-plus too Really great deal, i just bought mine a few days ago, they came today, and sound amazing

sounds like you might want an IEM. Maybe a shure e3c?

sounds to me like out of those, the 880s.

I was right about to order some hd595s (http://www.compuplus.com/i-Sennheise...r-froogle.html) and i noticed some people refering to a 50 ohm version of the 595. Is there more than one, and is there any way to tell which ones you are ordering?

Well my personal opinion is that you dont need high end headphones for gaming at all, but if you plan on using them for music too thats another story.

How much of a difference can you here with a 595 or a 650 when its amped vs driven right out of a computer sound card? Also, I could afford either a 595 with an amp, or a 650 without one; would it be safe to assume that the 595 with an amp would sound better than the 650 witout one? Thanks

Ive decided to get a pair of hd 595s now, and I was wondering A. How big of a difference there would be amped vs unamped, and B. if there are any amps in particular that work well with them? Thanks.

Ive been planning on getting a good pair of cans that will provide great audio quality and comfort (as I usualy spend upwards of 4 hours a day listening to music w/headphones) but the myriad of reviews and commentaries available have left me a little unsure of what direction to go in... Im...
