Looking To Splurge On Some Sweet Headphones

BOSSNIG · January 18, 2009, 01:05:29 PM

Anyway, help my decide between:

Sennheiser HD 600
Sennheiser HD 595 (Leaning towards these becase they are in the middle of the price range, and allmost as good as the 600's)
Sennheiser HD 555's

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."

Get the 600s and wear them while playing TF2.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH

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. :)
