Hi,
I am considering getting either the hd555 or the hd580, I don't know which would be better for my circumstances and was hoping someone could tell me. I am only going to be listening to them on my computer for the most part, I need them because my roommate goes to bed early and I can't use my speakers then. I will be doing a lot of music listening(mostly rock) with them, but also some gaming, and once in a while a movie or something. I dont really have the money for an amp unless a decent one can be had for <100 dollars preferably more towards the 50 dollar range, its my first year in college and I don't really have money to waste. I can get them both for basically the same amount of money, but I was wondering, without an amp which would be better, the soundcard I am going to be using them with is an audigy 2 zs. I also have some Logitech z-5500 speakers hooked up to that soundcard and they have their own headphone output jack, I don't know if that would be better to use, if it would act like an amp or not.
