Hey everyone, I'm jac006 (like jack and then the numbers 006, not jacob like some people may think), and I'm new, as you can probably tell. Anyways, I recently bought a pair of some great cans, the sennheiser 595's. I love them, and I think the $200 I spent on them was totally worth it. I spent a lot of research on the different types of headphones and the price of what was out there and came to the conclusion that these would be best type of headphone for me. I listen to a myriad of types of music, including but no limited to, rock, alternative, classical, etc. I'm a classical pianist, so I have a decent ear, with good pitch and what not. I'm not an exact audiophile, but I like my music accurate with a good balance in the mix in sounds.
Anyways, I recently saw this new headphone people seem to be exploding over: beats by dr. dre, which are retailing at $350. My question is this: is the $150 premium actually going to make a difference? I haven't actually had the chance to listen to the beats phones but I'm wondering if someone who has or someone with a lot of experience with headphones could tell me if the price is worth it. Would it be wise to sell my 595's for the beats? Any advice/comments would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!!
