Title: Looking To Splurge On Some Sweet Headphones
Post by: BOSSNIG on January 18, 2009, 01:05:29 PM
Anyway, help my decide between:

Sennheiser HD 600 (http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD600-Over-Ear-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00004SY4H/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1232308716&sr=1-1)
Sennheiser HD 595 (Leaning towards these becase they are in the middle of the price range, and allmost as good as the 600's) (http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD595-HD-595-Premier-Headphone/dp/B0001FTVE0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1232308716&sr=1-3#)
Sennheiser HD 555's (http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD555-HD-555-Audiophile-Headphones/dp/B0001FTVDQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1232308716&sr=1-5)

Suggestions for different ones are welcome.

If you're going to splurge that much, go for the HD600's.

Just...keep in mind what that summary/review says:

"While this unit is capable of amazing sound, its best performance requires more amplifier power than most portable devices can muster."

Yeah. I read that.

I checked Google and it appears the the Zune battery has 80 Watts of power, and those Headphones take 60. So I guess they may work >_>.

You're not splurgin' unless you're paying for the most expensive thing.

Okay. I've decided to buy the 595's because I would need a Headphone amp for the 600's and the 595's are more suited to portable listening on MP3 players.

Hmm. I may do the same (though not as pricey). I've got close to $130 worth of Target gift cards sitting around doing nothing. I might get some lower-end Sennheisers to see how awesome they are. :)
