Hey all,
I've searched this forum and found some similar topics to this, but I haven't seen my question in particular. I'm wondering if the Sennheiser HD555's are significantly different (worse) than the HD558 and HD598 lines. I'm a big fan of the coloring for both the 558 and the 555 (matches my black setup) and if there isn't much difference between the 555 and the 558, I'd likely save the extra $70 and grab the 555s on Amazon for about $100. I'd like to basically get the most bang for my buck around the $100-$175 range.
I currently use the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX for my computer, and are powered by my Supreme FX II soundcard that came with my Asus motherboard. I think my Klipsch's sound GREAT, if that gives you any indication of what my audio tastes are like. I'll primarily be using them for gaming and music (as well as a little sound editing) so any advice is appreciated. Comfort is something I'm very concerned about too, and open headphones are something I'd like to try out.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.
