So I was recently given $170 on paypal for something, and I was going to buy a Turtle Beach x3 for my Xbox 360 gaming. So I read about that, and I saw mention of the Tritton AX360, so I decided I was going to get that instead, because of the superior quality.
This was 2 days ago. I was completely 100% clueless about audio. Now I have some sort of idea, kinda.
So after reading these forums, Amazon reviews, other audio sites, etc, I discovered that I am ****ing dumb. I read about the Sennheiser HD555's and the Sennheiser HD595's, and decided I was going to get the HD595's.
That was before I heard mention of "Headphone Amps". I didn't even know **** like that existed before yesterday.
So, tldr; I don't know **** about audio, but I want a good sounding system. I'm going to be using whatever I buy with my laptop, xbox 360 (With the ****ty microsoft mic around my neck for the microphone), and my phone (which doubles as my mp3 player, with a few 4gb MicroSD cards). I'm leaning towards the Sennheiser HD555's, considering I'm pretty sure that the HD595 model requires a good Amp, but I've heard mixed things about whether or not the HD555's need one or not to produce good quality sound.
If those phones need an amp then I will need to find a different headphone, as my budget can not increase.
Thanks
