Hi 
 
Since my latest try to buy new headphones without doing much research i need help to see if the headphones i look at right now are any good and why one would be better then the other. 
 
For the record i use a pair of Sennheiser PC360 headphones:
 

 
into my old Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD
 
But since the Sennheiser are starting to spark i need to find new ones. 
 
I jsut bought a Blue iceball as a mic so now i am looking for headphones without a mic on them but with nice open sound. 
 
Here are some examples of the headphones within the price range i am looking at.
 
Sennheiser HD 559
 
AKG K 701
 
Shure SRH840

 

the price range is 1000-2000 sek so 111.05 US dollar to 222.12 US Dollar

Hopefully you disabled the motherboard's on-board audio, in the BIOS, when you installed the Titanium-HD.
 
Maybe buy a used HD558 headphone.
 
Sometime in the future maybe buy an external headphone amplifier and connect it to the Titanium-HD's RCA output jacks.
Might improve audio quality over plugging headphones directly into the Titanium-HD's headphone jack.

I'd take this off your list. The combination of  the early bass roll off and the relatively lower efficiency with low impedance can make it sound like a tin can out of anything but a proper amplifier.
