Hi there,
I am currently looking at getting the Sennheisers HD 518. I am no audiophile in terms of headphones and have not tried many models, especially open back high end cans. Nevertheless I still like quality when listening to something (music, game, movie) on my PC. I am currently using Sennheiser HD 205 (not sure | or ||), which i modded with Beyerdynamics EDT250 velour pads due to comfort issues. I do not use headphone amp as my Creative X-FI Platinum is more than enough for my current setup.
My question is will I see big improvement in the overall sound quality if I go for the HD 518? Being on a tight budget that is as far as I can stretch it for new cans.
I have read a lot of reviews here on head-fi, but can not see them compared to something similar as my current set of cans.
