Headphoneus Supremus
I have just built a new pc, and the main purpose for it is my music.
I am using the Asus Xonar Essence ST souncard and Audioengine 5 speakers.
I am playing my music back as FLAC files, and I am totally impressed with the clear, clean sound that I am getting.
I want a good set of headphones that will pair well with my set-up.
I listen to all kinds of music....classic rock is my favorite.
I want the headphones to go over my ear......I guess I would be ok with open cans as long as they dont let too much noise in....I currenty use Audio-Technica ATH-700 cans on my other pc, and i like the closed idea as I get fully immersed.
My new set up will be able to take a better set of cans, at least I think so........the speakers have a built in amp and my souncard also has one for head phones.
Budget around $300 unless the quality jump is so great that it is a much better deal.
Thanks for any help and if you need any more info....let me know.
