For those who have come to help, thanks!
After a long history of listening to music on my laptop at home with a standard Koss PortaPro, I came across threads about the wonders of music through good setups. I wanted to see if it did indeed make night and day difference when listening to music.
I understand headphones are tailored for certain music genre's, this itself is quite confusing for myself. I mainly listen to pop/trance/electrical/light rock. I don't listen to jazz or heavy metal, on the rare occasion classical. There is no chance for demo's in the UK, so I have to go through general conclusions.
So in the end I picked up a cheap pair of Senn HD650 because of the many comments of it being warm and laid back so I could expect hours of use without fatigue, like a jack of all trades type of headphone. And I'm not impressed with it so far though it's without a dac and amp. I'm worried if I'm not impressed with the default HD650, will a dac and amp make the day and night difference I wanted?
If you think I've went with the wrong purchase, what should I be looking towards with £400?
