Long time reader, first time poster.
I'm a big gamer (PC 4 Life) and music lover so i picked myself up a set of ath-ad700s
Long story short, love them for gaming in first person shooters cuz of the soundstage (it's like hacking how well i can locate people by footsteps), and love them for jazz and classical.
Sadly though, the ad700s leave me feeling emotionally empty when it comes to rock music and big explosions. I need a second set of cans to listen to when I want to get PUMPED. I'm looking to spend ~$100 for some quality unamped (currently run an x-fi xtreme gamer) headphones that can ROCK (from system of a down to zep to radiohead).
Looking primarily at the ath-m50 and the sr80i sets (leaning towards the m50) but open to suggestions. What's your vote?
P.S. Love this community, but do you guys know of a similar community for hifi larger than a headset (i.e. speakers, receivers)?
