Thanks for the advice everyone
I bought a pair early this morning and just received notice that they shipped (Although someone here bought the pair from ebay that I had my eye on at work!)
I almost made a mistake and bought the $150 Bose Triport ones yesterday at bestbuy, but someone recommended I come here first and I'm glad I did
I did see a lot of mention of the A900's here, but the 595's seemed to have a better overall liking from the impressions I've seen (comfortability, portability, and great sound) - It should be really nice to see how they turn out
People say that they leak sound in almost everything I've read - is it really that bad? I know I've had ones in the past where people nearby can hear part of the beat coming from your headphones - but are these to the point where they can clearly hear everything? It doesn't bother me but I'm interested in how bad they are on this set.
EyeAmEye also mentioned a problem with it is the cord length - is it too short? too long? or is there some other problem to worry about with it?
In the past my big griped have been a shortness in cord length (which works fine for a portable, but trying to watch a DVD is near impossible without an extension cable)
As far as music goes, I listen to a little of everything but most of my collection would probably be Pop, Rock, and Techno.
Another problem with my previous sets were the lack of ANY bass for some reason - do the 595's provide decent bass for music/movies that make use of it?
Finally, I do intend to plug it into my computer (for music as well as movies) but all of my audio outputs are located on the back and I'd hate to keep reaching back there to plug in/unplug it when I want to switch it to the receiver or take it out with me - if I get a cord extension cable will it really cut down on my sound quality?
Thanks again for the help with all of this
