Hi people. I'm looking at buying some speakers very soon but was told some headphones might do the trick as well.
I guess I have to describe what I like hearing to get some good recommendations? Well when I listen to electronic and rock music I like being able to hear the high notes, symbols, some bass, definitely the beat for trance/house music, but moreover I like it when my music sounds live.
For hip hop and others I like the highs as well, but mainly I like it when I can hear a nice deep beat with all the rattles and chimes in the background.
For games I really only play Day of Defeat seldom so I can dismiss any disadvantages in that area.
Lastly, you guys will probably need a budget to work with.
Well I can do anywhere from 200-400 so if you guys can provide a difference range of what is best that would be appreciated.
So far the only only one's I've looked into are the Senn hd555, hd595, audio technica a900/ad900, and akg k271.
I'm not sure what's the difference between open and closed but I wouldn't want too much pressure on my head and feeling like my grape is about to pop.
I'll be using this for computer use via a xfi xtrememusic and no amplifier.
Thank you for any helpful comments. I appreciate them all.
