I'm currently sporting some HD-280s and just bought myself a headphone amplifier (It's a Starving Student MiniMillett) and have been told that I should probably get better headphones to really get a feel for the amplifier and the difference in music.
Now I've been researching the HD650, and decided that right now it's too much money for me. I don't really feel like spending $380 on a headphone alone, because with the price of the amp + interconnect cables, we're looking at $500+.
Now I don't know the real difference between the two, other than the HD-595's are about twice as expensive, and I just assume because the HD-580s are discontinued and because they're cheaper and "lower" on the product line that they aren't as good, but I see a lot of people defending them and saying that they are the best headphones that they have ever used.
Music-wise, I listen to everything from Jazz to Death Metal to Hip-Hop to Alternative to Punk. In terms of range, I feel that there is a good mix of low and high in the music I listen to, so, I'm wondering:
Which do I get?!
Thanks for the help everyone!
