Well, I had Sennheiser HD555's for probably a year and a half, and I loved them. I used them every single day, listening to music, playing piano, playing guitar, etc.
Yesterday, my puppy ended up somehow getting caught in the cord (I literally have no idea how) and yanked the cord, it completely stripped my sound card and it ripped the wire out of the headphones and busted the right can almost in half. It blew my mind how much force a 10 month old bloodhound could produce. Thanks, buddy.
Anyway, as my first post here, i'm coming here for guidance on what I should get as an upgrade, or just as a replacement for my HD 555s, a soundcard, amp, whatever.
I never understood quite how complex computer audio got, I have a 5.1 HT system for movies, but I loved the way just an $80 sound card + the 555's sounded, I never even knew about amps until recently. So! I have around $500 to get an upgraded or equivalent system.
TL;DR
Puppy produced force of 1000 suns and destroyed Sennheiser HD555's and sound card
$500 to upgrade/replace headphones + sound card + whatever else you guys would recommend for a system that will get more-than-average use out of daily.
Thanks to anyone who can provide me with some guidance!
