Hi all,
I stumbled onto this site while I've been looking into getting a new set of headphone to replace the ones I have. Currently I have sony mdr-xd300 (received as a gift), but several years of heavy use has the foam pads disintegrating and the ear cover falling off so I'm using this as an excuse to take a step up. I'm using them with an x-fi Forte in my computer mostly for music, but also some gaming.
There are so many contradicting opinions out there about specific headphones I'm hoping I can get better feedback just creating a new thread.
Originally I had looked in the Sony mdr-sa3000 since I like the sound from my current headphones, but from comments here about their lacking bass has me currently leaning towards the Sennheiser HD595s. Would I hear a noticeable improvement from what I have now?
I'm just looking for recommendations as I'm not that familiar purchasing headphones in this price range. $150 is around what I'm looking to spend but it's not set in stone.
