You could get the Audio Technica A900s for $168 from Musicians Friends if you email them to pricematch Bluetin's price.

There are honestly GREAT headphones for less than the top of the line. You can always save your bucks for a second (and third...and fourth) pair of headphones later. I don't want to talk you out of Senns, because I dearly love my 600s, but just want to help you make a rational decision. Good luck! |

Two more questions tho since ye appear quite knowledgable ![]() 1. Would my sound quality improve moving from the audigy 2 zx to a x-fi card? (given i use the 1212m as output, curtesy of your tip) 2. Moving to a x-fi card, would i notice a quality difference in sound from a x-fi music vs. a x-fi elite pro? The parts on the elite pro are supposed to be better (and cost ALOT more), but since i would be utilizing the output from the 1212m it is my reasoning this quality difference in parts wouldnt be hearable... Am i making silly arguments or is there some sentiment of truth in it? |
