Usage: The headphones will be used for two purposes: playing on a digital piano and playing games on the computer / listening entirely to classical on the computer. The piano portion is more important to me.
Source: The computer is a laptop that currently uses an The Audigy notebook PCMCIA card. The piano will be a new Clavinova, so source-wise, that's not a problem.
Needs: Looking for great soundstage, detailed (analytical?) sound that's particularly good with pianos.
Budget: $200-$300 (for just the headphones)
Looking at A900 ($199), K501 ($199), K601 ($299)
The dilemma, if you haven't figured out already is that these headphones do one part better while the other does the other part better. For example, the AKG's are clearly better when it comes to the piano portion, but the A900's are better when it comes to the computer portion because my source is weak (or is it?). Which would you buy?
I will NOT buy an amp with these headphones, but I am considering buying that at a later time.
