Hey everyone,
My pair of Bose (yes I know they're not good headphones, but they were given to me as a gift) recently broke, and I'm looking to upgrade. My knowledge of audio is extremely limited, but I'm definitely open to learning more.
I currently have a budget of $250, and would like suggestions of what I can best get for my money. I'm really interested in Sennheisers, as I've heard great things about them. I've been looking at the hd 598, but I read that they should be optimally used with an amp and external DAC. I listen to almost all audio through my PC, so portability isn't much of an issue. Also, I don't own any soundcards or amps, like I said, I'm a real noob when it comes to audio.
(Also to be noted: I'm not located in the nearby vicinity of any authorized dealers, so testing different things out isn't really much of an option)
