Hi Everyone,
Well I've been lurking for some time now, and have finally made a decision - kind of...
I have decided to go for either the SR225's or the HD595's, in combination with a Total BitHead Amp by HeadRoom. I listen to Rock, Metal, Electronic (Trance, House, Techno), Rap and a bit o' Pop... Yup, you see my problem.
The combination will be powered by my iPod when on the road, and by my Mac when at home.
How uncomfortable are the SR225s really? Are the HD595s much more pleasant to wear for extended periods?
The HD595s are originally ca. 90USD more expensive, but can be had for the same price as the SR225s - would this in itself make them the sensible/better option? I.e. a 20k car vs. a 30k car - or is this already at a level where this rationale is no longer applicable?
So, which ones would you go for, and why?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
-B.
PS: These will be my first better headphones, so far I've simply been using my iPod with Shure E2Cs - which has already been a revelation compared to anything I've previously experienced.
