I've been spending way to much of my time lately trying to research and find the best headphones to suit my needs. I finally have decided to just ask, so here is goes.
I'm in college and will probably be doing most of my listening from my laptop. This may be in my room, in a another empty classroom, or in a library. So I think I need closed can for that reason. I usually don't listen to music from my phone but I wouldn't rule out the possibility. I listen to pretty much any genre of music that consists of files on my hard drive or from streaming services.
I have to sets of DIY bookshelf speakers that I made for my freshman engineering seminar. These are attached to attached to a T-amp. I plan purchasing a cheap 8 inch sub woofer to pair with them so I will have a nice set of desktop speakers in my room.
Originally I was going to pick up a pair of Sennheiser Momentums but after seeing this article
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57439115-47/build-your-own-desktop-stereo-for-under-$70/ I think I'm goinng to by a cheap DAC/amp.
So my question is. Are the Mommentums still my best bet? Originally I wasn't planning on spending money on a DAC/amp which is why I wanted the Momentums. But if I'm going to spend the money on one I'm not sure if the Momentums are my best option.
