I got my hd555s in March and have been happy with them. However, I feel like something is missing from the music though I can not place what. Something just feels like it should be there but isn't. I have been looking into the 650s and the Denon D2000s but other suggestions would be nice. I really enjoy the laid back feel of the hd555s. My budget is $350. My uses for the phones are music, movies and games. I listen to almost every genre of music besides country. I go from my audigy 2 zs (optical out) / cd player (optical out) to my Harmon Kardon AVR 135. I am not sure if this will be able to power my new cans or not; if not could you suggest an amp to go with the phones and where in my setup the amp would fit in? Thanks.

if you like the senn sound just go further along the line

I would suggest the HD650 with a Cardas cable. I love the aid back yet crystal clear sound of this combi.

HD650, then get an amp to go with it. An amp will do more to the sound than a cable will. If you want a good amp, the b22 ($400 to make) will blow your mind away, but its a DIY amp. I'm sure many people would be willing to build one for a little extra. If you want something on the portable side, the HeadRoom Micro amp is fairly good with the HD650s, makes them a little more laid back than they are if thatswhat you are looking for.

Or how about getting some AD-900's? Then you won't need to spend money on an amp

Thanks for the help. It looks like I am going to go with the 650s and hope my receiver can power them until I have money for an amp.

good choice - I went 555 --> 595 --> 600 --> 650, which is a more expensive route to mecca
