Hey..
I have a pair of Senn HD-580's and it turns out for me to get the sound they deserve to give i would need to sepnd quite a bit on a little headphone amp.. And i really cant afford to do that.. So i was wanting some opinions on what headphones to get...

Now i would really prefer headphones that go right around the ear and dont sit on the ear... And i can spend about the same as what the 580's are worth coz i will probably take these back and get something else...

so yeah. Which circumaural headphones would you recommend that dont need an amp..

Thanks alot..

What kind of music do you listen to, and what kind of sound do you prefer (lots of detail, bass, good midrange, etc.)?

So you won't be using an amp at all? What will your source be (portable, computer, home CD player)?

You may want to look into HD-590. They don't need an amp. Although, for $150-$250 you can get a decent amp that will drive your 580's and you may be happier with that combo.

The 770 Pro's need an amp.

You would wanna look at the 590's.....

590s are really bright...

what do you want in a headphone??? You could get Etymotics, the ER4P or ER6. or you could get the Beyer 250-80. or you could get the Audio Technica W100 or. or or or or.

I want some headphones that will be run from my computer (through an amp int he future)...
I will listen to a lot of punk/techno so a lot of bass and clarity is good...

i dont know all that much about headphones..
but i know the HD580's arent what i want and the 770 Pro's are what i want
