Pretty much what the subject says, my current puny setup is:
Creative Labs Audigy 1
El-Cheapo MDR-G73
Logitech Z-560 (totally hated its bass, currently getting rid of them)
So, basically I'm looking for my first pair of Hi-Fi cans. I want to use them for everything from gaming, movies to music, nothing specific, just expect overall goodness for a non-initiated newbie like me who doesn't know any better.
My gripe with the Sennheiser HD-595's is their price, the Sony MDR-V6's cost almost half and are well regarded in these forums, however, I have no idea if the Sony's are even comparable or in the same league of the Senn's.
Just in case you're wondering I do realize I need to replace my sound card too, the basic X-Fi for games is in my mind (plus an AV-710 for music maybe?).
And yes, I have considered the HD-580's but was quickly overwhelmed by the variety of amps available, I think I will follow this route once I "level up" in Hi-Fi knowledge.
