Ok, I need your help guys and gals!
I recently stepped out of the world of crappy headphones. I started modestly with some Sennheiser PX100s. Needless to say, I really like them. Their sound style, and from what I read, Sennheiser's style, really lends itself to not just music but also to watching videos. They lack that "harsh" feel that some other headphones I've used have. And watching videos on my PC is my primary use of headphones, so keep that in mind. Anyway, I'm ready to upgrade. I'm looking to spend $100 or less and get a noticeable improvement over my PX100s while maintaining that same sound style.
Based on the research I've done, The Sennheiser HD555 seems to be the logical choice, which I can grab on Amazon for about $100. The reviews I've read seem to indicate that it shares the same style as the PX100 with regards to videos.
So in short:
- Is that the best choice, based on my conditions, for under $100?
- If it is, will I notice a substantial sound quality increase?
- Any other suggestions? Please list any headphones that are under $100, share the sound style, and are better than the PX100s.
Thanks!
