Hi,
I've got some questions... while you're reading, keep in mind that I am only 16 at the moment, and so I don't have 2000$ to spend on headphones, even if I wanted to
.
Yesterday I got myself the Senn HD 500 off ebay. They're not here yet, but I bought them at a very reasonable price, so I will be able to resell them if I don't like them. I know that there aren't many people who think highly of the HD 500, but a friend of mine said it sounded quite well, and for the price I got it, I thought I might give it a try. Well, considering the case I wouldn't like the 500 and reselled them, which phones should I buy for ~50-60$? I'd like closed phones, so that I don't hear noise from the outside, and others don't hear what I'm listening to. I'd probably be able to pick up the Sony MDR V-500DJ (don't know if that's the correct name) , are they good?
As a little help: I like listening to very different music: Metal and Hard Rock as well as Electronic Music (like The Prodigy...), but a lot of Classical Music, too. I know I can't get satisfying sound quality for 50 bucks, but I'd like to have the 'best bang for buck'
.
Ah well, and another problem: My amp is the Denon UD-M30. I know it's not a good amp by many standards, but for the price it's quite good, I'd say. So, I think I couldn't plug a HD 600 or something like that to the UD-M30, because then, headphone quality would be higher than amp quality. What's the max in headphones I can reasonably use with the UD-M30?
Thanks for your time, I'm looking forward to your answers. Ah, yes, I'm from Germany, please excuse my English spelling, grammar, and vocabulary... at least I'm trying to get better
