  i quite feel you. some headphones, all of ultrasones for example come with carry boxes, which are not very fancy, but look good, and are pretty resistant to shock. nice to have.

 
It's interesting how I always read terrible things about Ultrasone's $1,500+ headphones, but much better things about the more affordable ones.

the best are dj line.. lots of soundstage. editions, all of them seem to be made for a niche of a niche of a niche. my endgame headphones are going to be ultrasone dj signature, for cloes back.

YKYAAW headphones stands are a must.

That's the HD518, correct? How are they? Have you been able to try out any of the other headphones in the HD5XX line, and if so, how does it compare?

I heard the Signature PRO is even better. I know a guy who owned one, but he sold it since he has better headphones like the AKG K812.

Yes, HD 518.
They are very good so far, and I can wear them for hours of gaming. Bass is tight and clean (not as good as momentums). Treble is great but vocals can be pushed back a bit.

I have listened to the current 5xx line. The 558 is a little more sparkly than the 518 and have a little more bass. Other than that, the 558 and 598 are really similar.

I don't really have that much experience with audio gear (1 year) and I'm only 12 so I wouldn't know.

YKYAAW it irks you that someone calls the headphone jack a "headphone opening"

Thanks for the reply; I generally prefer forwards vocals, so I may have to stay away from the HD518.

YAY! I just got off the phone with Sonic Electronix. They told me that my NVX XPT100 headphones will arrive by Friday! ^_^
 
(Now I know that sometimes, Amazon's tracking should be ignored.)

Groovy! (I only heard the on-ear version of the Sennheiser Momentum and didn't like it at all, but it was a brief audition.)
 
That image reminded me that I still need to watch Angel Beats!

I was about to pull the trigger on the over-ear Momentum (used for $125), but I ended up going for the HE400, since they were pretty cheap. 
 
I don't normally watch anime with that animation style, but AB ended up being one of my favorite anime.

Ah, then you have nothing to worry about. (I was just going from what your profile currently says.)
 
Do you have a My Anime List profile? Here's mine.

Yea, I haven't updated that in sometime, but I just did, even though almost nothing has really changed. lol
 
No, I have a Anime-Planet list, though. Here's the link in case you want to see it. 

 
 
EDIT: I like your list, though, I still need to see Fullmetal Alchemist.

it depends a lot on what you want from headphones... i want more treble and more soundstage. in these terms, dj line works better.. otherwise, yes, the sig pro is better, it is more linear, and should sound interesting. the akg k812 is open back, so i consider it a bit unfair to compare them. i mean, they are going to have a different sound.
 
YJKYAAW you clean your ears every day with special alchool solution to keep your hearing at the best levels possible. this and it protects against funghi, a type of ear disease. this, and i observed that cleaning the ears daily gives better and clearer overall sound.

Spoiler: Look at this.

 
The Signature PRO and Signature DJ are actually in the Signature line, whereas the DJ 1 and DJ 1 PRO are in the DJ line.
