Hello everyone! I'm new to the site and somewhat of a newbie to the
headphone hifi world. This is a great site and resource I'm thankful I stumbled upon. excuse any typos as I'm typing this vis my blackberry while in my carpool on the way to work.
i need help with what headphone to get. i currently have bose over the ear triports which with my untrained ear can tell they aren't the best. received them as a gift and now I'm already starting to Jones for better quality. i currently have an Astro mix amp which nominal impedence is 51 ohm and pill push 1.6 vRMS. I plan on also purchasing a Bellari HA540 Tube Headphone Amp for home use and if i can figure a way to rig my xbox upto it I will do that as well. i will use the headphones 1st for music and movies and would also like to use them for gaming. i tend to listen to classic rock and alternative the most but listen to all genre including jazz and classical. I'm looking to spend around $500.00. in researching online the Sennheiser hd 650, grado rs2i and rs1i, beyerdynamic dt880 and 990 have peeked my interest. i have heard the older grado rs2 and 1 thus far. Please offer some thoughts and any other headphone i should consider. also debating on ohm rating. thanks for the help!
