hey everyone,
so i listened to the advice of some other members in my other post and sold my bose on-ear phones and now have $200 in hand, ready to buy some really nice headphones. i looked at the guide and saw these as options:
2-Sennheiser hd595 ($180)
1-Grado Sr225 ($180)
2-AKG k501 ($190)
3-Beyerdynamic DT880 PRO/2005 (~$200)
2-Sennheiser HD25-II ($175)
1-Audio Technica a900 ($200)
2-Beyerdynamic Dt250 ($200)
2-AKG 271s ($185)
only thing is, i'm really a noob at this stuff. i pretty much will only be using these phones with an iPod, will an amp REALLY be necessary, i mean, will it really make that much of a difference? i'm sort of leaning towards the sr225 and a900 simply because they don't need an amp. and then the other question is, which of these is the best in direct comparison to each other for hip-hop, rap, and pop music? sorry for all these questions, thanks SO much for any help
