So I just got my HD555s last night and so far I'm not impressed. I'm using it straight from the headphone out of my iPod and Laptop. I planned on purchasing an amp for it in the near future but I wonder if I should even bother. The sound is extremely laid back, there's no punch and the bass is pretty weak. Would an amp correct this? I've tried listening to Rap, Folk, Trip Hop, Indie Rock and Jazz with these headphones and nothing sounds bad so far... just nothing sound great either. Music that sound amazing on my E500s just sound "whatever" on the HD555s.
At this point I'm thinking of returning them and going with maybe the MS1s and getting an amp for them.
