So I'm looking for some headphones. To give you some background about how much I used to appreciate audio, just look at my current setup:
Now that I've started getting into classical (and techno, but to a lesser extent), I'm rapidly discovering that my audio setup is lacking and I want improvement. I also do game some, if that makes any difference.
I'm in college, but I'm willing to spend a small chunk of change on something that will keep me happy for at least a little while (I know how most things like this start and where they end up). I'm sure I'll get bitten by the bug and upgrade soon, but where does one start, anyway?
I have a few issues sans headphones that I may need to address. I currently play audio on my main desktop (Q6600 @ 3.4GHz, 4GB Corsair DHX, GTX 260, etc.) but use integrated audio. If I went with something like, say, the Audio Technica a900 would I want to look at a new sound card? All things point to me NOT needing an amp... is this true? My budget is not concrete... I can spend more or less... but I figure this should at least get my foot in the door when it comes to my audio setup. When I do things I tend to do things all out, so let me know if $400 is simply not a big enough budget to accomplish what I'm looking to do.
Thanks for the help and if you have any questions you need answered please ask.
