Hi All,
I desperately need advice on what headphones to get for films (60% use) and games (40%) - no music at all. I am currently torn between the Beyerdynamic 880, AKG 701/2, Audio Technica A900 ( as i would prefer open back). Currently I have the Sennheiser 595s but am looking for something on the next level from these and am completely lost in the reviews I've read online. I have a budget of around £250 to £300. What can you guys recommend?
One final question - I hope not to buy a dedicated headphone amp and instead use my onkyo (sr875) AV receiver. Will this be sufficient? Unfortunately there is nothing on the onkyo website telling me the impedance on the headphone socket so I don't know if it will be sufficient to power any of the above headphones! Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
