Hi everybody, I hope this isn't an over-asked question, but I need some help looking for some new cans. I bought my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones about 2 years ago, and they're nice, but I'm looking for something a bit better sound. Don't get me wrong, these things sound good, but I want something clearer and more natural sounding. I've heard this can be had with open cap headphones as opposed to the closed nature of the Senns, but don't quote me on that.
I after much googling, and a disappointing 2 hours with the Bose Tri-Ports, I'm thinking about either the Grado SR80s or the Sennheiser HD555s, but I'm not really sure what to expect from each, and no place in town carries them so I can't do a direct comparison. Anyone have any ideas? I won't be using an amp, and they'll just be hooked up directly to my computer sound card... a Creative Labs Audigy SE as of now, but I'm looking to upgrade to something worthy of a good set of cans.
Thanks for reading this and I hope to hear from you soon. And I apologise if I've asked a dumb question or posted in the wrong place. The site is great, but not as intuitive as the other forums I frequent.
