Hello, i wondering which headphones will make best duet with Asus Xonar Essence ST card. I will use internal amp. I like listen Rock/Metal some Jazz, also other kinds of music. My budget is 200$. I thought about:

Sennheiser HD 595
Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro
Grado SR 60/80i

If someone had listen that ones with the Xonar Essence ST, i'll be appreciate for some opinions. Of course i am open for other headphones too...

HD650's.

I agree, HD-650's.  But mostly because of complementary characteristics.  I usually find HD-650's are too laid-back in the treble.  By contrast, the Essence soundcard tends to be pretty hot in the treble, at least before you start rolling op-amps.  Together they make sweet music!  That was my system before I decided I wanted a headphone amp.  Recommended!
