Want a very good, versatile headphone for music on pc and gaming (pc and ps3). Comfort is very important, trying to decide between hd558 (modded to 598), hd598, hd600, and dt880.

Hi all head-fiers,
That's my first post in head fi and I'm looking for some suggestions. My current setup is ipod touch --(line out)--> Corda XXS --> Audio Technica ES-10. I mostly listen to J-Pop, Rock and Classical. Now I'm looking to move on to a home setup. I would like to keep the budget for the headphone under 600 US dollars. After doing a whole bunch of research, I narrowed down to two options- Denon D5000 and Beyerdynamic DT880. They are both all-rounded and suitable for many types of music. I'm looking to connect either one of these two heapdhoens to MSII+&Corda Swing or Corda Cantate, but I didn't make up my mind yet. Other suggestions for headphones/amp/dac are welcomed though. Please help me decide for the headphone. Thanks for the help
Are the ultrsone 550/580 worth the 50 bucks more then the m50's?
Hey head-fi, lurker here looking for some top tier headphones for metal and hip hop. I was checking out some Sennheiser HD 25-1 ll's and I also heard HD598's are pretty good. Any suggestions on what I should do? Some of my favorite artists at the moment are Misery Signals, Ihsahn, The Contortionist, OFWGKTA, and Coheed and Cambria.
Hey guys, always been interested in high-end audio and will probably be an audio enthusiast in the future.
Bottom line: I'm looking for the best setup possible (preferably portable) for under (or slightly above $200). I really don't know where to start!
The music I love:
My favorite artists are The Beatles, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Wolfmother, King Crimson, and others of the spacy-progressive-ish rock type, as well as electronic music like Daft Punk and a good amount of dubstep. I'm very particular about my audio files - my favorite albums are in FLAC (mainly just for archival) and I'm sure to get the cleanest audio file possible from the best source (like vinyl, directly from CD, etc.)
As for preferences in the style of them, I really don't care whether they're open ended or closed. I just want great audio
I got my brother the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 about a month or two ago after doing some research for what he wanted (noise cancelling as a priority), and I was thoroughly excited about the audio quality after giving is a go with my own music - I loved how clear it sounded compared to what I was listening with before... I felt like the music had depth and a 3D space to it. AWESOME. The vocals and instrumentation just jumped into reality (to my inexperienced ears at least, lolz).
Anyway, I just want the best setup I can get that suits my listening interests, including (but not necessarily) an amp. My source will mainly be a 160GB iPod Classic.
tl;dr About a $200 budget to get an the best headphones and/or amp for my Floyd/Beatles and electronic music interests. Help!
Hi guys, I've gotten an opportunity to shop for my first pair of real headphones. I'm looking for a pair of 100$ headphones.120 tops. I currently have sony mdr-xd100 so I am expecting a lot from my new headphones.
I'm looking into headphones for music only. OK, maybe watching a movie from time to time. I listen to most types/genres of music e.g. pop, rock, rap, RnB. I want to know what you think the best choices would be.
I would prefer closed headphones because they will be used from the living room pc.Portability should not be considered as i do not plan to take them outside of the house. I narrowed my search to ath-m50, ath-a700 and maybe HD 448. Also I am not planing of buying an amp anytime soon.
All recommendations are appreciated. What do you think my best choices are ???
