First of all. I just joined up here and I must congratulate you all on such a comprehensive forum. Very well written reviews and great threads.
onto the question:
my kenwood KPM-310's suck royally. i have been using them for the better part of a year and a half and its time for a change. they are way too boomy on the low end and highs are just non-existent.
my use is primarily computer related, mostly listening to my cd collection ripped for easier access and some mild gaming.
not sure what the feeling is on computer-headphone setups here but i have a SB Audigy that i'm currently using. i know there are Creative haters everywhere so please keep your complaints to something constructive. I'm 20 years old and a college student so please don't suggest HD600's etc, etc.
i'm looking at the HD570s and the EH2270s
the HD570s retail for 149, the EH2270s for 199
online best price i could find was 73 for the EHs and 79 (after $10 rebate) for the HDs
so virtually they are the same price which makes it very hard to decide for someone who has heard neither set.
my budget is sub 110 bucks all said and done, shipping, tax, etc.
one question i had while writing this up is what is the difference between the HD series and the Evolution series?
also i would like input on a headphone amp. i've never used one before. how much improvement can you get using one and how sharp is the wallet dagger for these things? i've seen some for several hundred dollars. is there any for 50 or under that will do a decent job?
i appreciate any insight you can give me
Thanks
