So I'm sure a few of you remember my post from yesterday. My search was on for a good pair of headphones for myself. Mostly looking for an upgrade from my SkullCandy Hesh. Which I still say unless you are going to spending more than $200, they are BestBuy's best pair of closed can full sized headphones. My budget is not $200.
Well my decision almost got made on a pair of DT770 Pro 80 Ohm, but a snag hit. I was told that the pair would sound lousy unless I bought an amp to go with, or a new sound card.
This is when I saw someone mention the hd280, and the HFI-550. Well because I wear my guys for 5-6 hours at a time, and most say that the hd280 are uncomfortably tight on the head. I think I am going to go for the HFI-550 because of cost, comfort, and many have said that the HFI-550 are the better pair all around.
My questions are, will my HFI-550 require a new sound card, or an amp like the DT770 Pro 80 Ohm? And where would I buy a pair for cheap that will let me keep the factory warranty, I noticed a few bad reviews of other headphones that said that buying from amazon does not let you keep your warranty?
