Hi, so this is my very first post in here, though I have been searching your forum for answers for a few days.
My problem is a little tricky. I need some new headphones, but I have a max budget around 360$ (Around 2000 danish kr) although I will be pretty broke if I spend all 360$.
I need some headphones for my Desktop computer mostly, which is using a Sound blaster X-Fi extreme gamer sound card. Even though I really like music, I'm a complete audiophile noob compared to most of you guys in here. So a little help will be much appreciated.
I mostly listen to rock/progressive metal but also enjoy classical acoustic music through my 70$ sennheiser PC 161 phones, but I want to push it a bit (a lot) further
I have been looking at headphones like Grado Sr225 = 1999kr and Senn HD 600 / 650 = 1550/1999kr also some Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro = 1000kr and then in the end the little misplaced Creative Aurvana X-Fi = 1330kr.
So what should I buy? Getting an amp will pretty much blow budget, unless you have recommendations? - I tend also to use my iPod a bit when traveling, but it's not a big issue. I'm leaning a bit over to the sr225 unamped, even though they will kill me, but I may be wrong.
Any Ideas?
Kind regards - Christian
ps. Appologize for my poor english
