Thank you for the suggestions, if the Q's turn out to be not my cup of tea i will look into the others. :)

Thanks MalVeaux for the honest reply, sorry it’s taken me awhile to respond but a long sleep and the usual day to day chores had to be taken care of while I’m still on vacation.   As for my selection I did do a lot of reading of people’s impressions of them and it seemed like the right fit...

Its 4 am and I feel like my head is about to explode at this point.  I thought buying a nice pair of headphones would be just a simple thing… I had no idea the landmine field I was walking into.  I just ordered a pair of Q701’s off amazon, the price was right with gift cards and some extra...

I caved in and bought the Q701’s along with the E10 over the E7 and 9 as I don’t plan on moving the headphones off of my computer ever.   That being said going to do a little bit of a test. I have an old, let me stress this very old receiver from a set of floor speakers that have to be at...

Ok that makes sense. The E9 just provides more juice to power the power hungry Q701's as many reviews have stated.  While the DAC will do a better job of translating the digital signals from my PC to the analog of the headphones on the E7 then my on board sound card would, with less chance of...

say I did jump on the Q701's  Do i need both the E7 and the E9 or will the E9 do me just fine. I actually don't understand the purpose of the doc on the E9 to hold the E&.  Does it provide more power or more control over what your tuning?

If I have learned anything not all headphones are built equal especially the special editions of said headphones from my reading here.  I did find a few reviewers saying how the 702's lacked the same bass and felt thinner than the 701's.   This still brings me back to my original question...

I am not to worried about the sound leaking part really.  Its the vibration from my big woofer that is there biggest complaint, even after I turn it down. I pretty much have to keep it off for the guy next door to sleep. He's a bit of a light sleeper but doesn't seem to hear my speakers even...

I was originally looking at the Sennheiser HD 598.  http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-598-Headphones-Accents/dp/B0042A8CW2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1357289323&sr=1-1&keywords=598 But after the lack luster responses in my first post and reading up on some information in others I...

Well I guess that answers my question about an amp.   Did anyone have any other recommendations when it came to comparable headphones in the 200 range that do well for both music and gaming?

Been doing a lot of reading and looking and pretty much decided to get a pair of these or use with my computer.   Mainly I was looking to get a pair that was both good for gaming and music as I do a good amount of both for 200 or under on the price right now. If anyone has anything better...
