I'm not sure they're exactly what I want after I've browsed this forum.
Initially I came here because I had been googling for a pair of used 580's for sale and found one but I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for.
The reason I was looking at this pair of cans was from reading a review about the mlg astro a40s and the author had said he thought the quality was much better on his 580s used in tandem with the a40 amp so he could still use a microphone and control the volume of other players on his headset. Plus the 580s weren't created as a pair of "gaming headphones."
Now I'm in no way a COMPLETE audiophile but I'm not satisfied with music below the 192-320kbps range (I always feel that higher bit rates seem to come through more clearly but maybe I'm just crazy) and I love listening to said music on the higher quality headphones that my friends possess. I've never owned anything more than a pair of apple 'buds so this will be a first for me.
My main question is are the 580's right for me (as my first higher-end headset) or should I look at something else?
Also, please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the 580's technically open-eared headphones or are they closed and 'noise-canceling'?
Thanks for taking the time to read my wall of text.
