Sennheiser HD600

I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD 460's and they sound good, a bit warmer of a sound than I actually like though. I've seriously been thinking of getting another pair of headphones and I've just about narrowed it down to 3 pairs and the price ranges a lot, lol.

Sennheiser HD 600 which cost $300 #1 on my list

audio-technica ATH-A700 My buddy has this pair and they sound great.

SENNHEISER HD280SILVER These headphones are getting fantastic reviews. Price wise I'm sure there worth it.

I'm content on getting the HD 600's. For the price I'm sure they'll be worth it. They look awesome and the reviews are great on em as well.

I have a pair of PMX 70 Sennheiser's and they sound fantastic with my mp3 player, and I won't part with em at all, I only paid $50 for those.

There the green neckband headphones, I use em all the time when I workout and they don't budge from my head, there awesome headphones.

Is it me or is $50 cheap for a pair of headphones? I know some people who were shocked when I told them I spent $50 on a pair of earbuds, I think $50 is dirt digity for a pair of headphones.

I have the HD485's but find the bass is lacking just a tiny bit due to the fact that they're open back headphones. That minor niggle aside, they're still an awesome pair of headphones (but then I did progress to those from a pair of shit $10 headphones so anything would have sounded better).

I found em a bit cheaper, if anyone else is interested in these bad mother fuckers.

::EDIT:: That site might be a bit shady, If I get these I will get them from amazon for about $240-$250

I've been reading up on the AD700 and those reviews are booming for that pair of headphones, and no need for a Headphone amp with those, Now with the HD600's it's wise to have a headphone amp, I would have to buy that separately.

I'm sooooo torn about what to do

After reading 100's of reviews, I think I've changed my mind for a #1 pick.

These should be bad ass.

Surely you can get them cheaper somewhere?
The HD600 is being sold in Germany for around $230 incl. tax.

I've got a HD595 myself and owned another Sennheiser before that. So I am a bit biased but I'd always go with Sennheiser again.

Has anyone on here used the Grado SR 225's? or any Grado's for that matter?

I've been reading up on these and people say they are awesome for rock and most types of music without the use of a headphone amp, and are a bit cheaper. Any ideas?

The main reason I haven't been looking into the grado's is because of the design, I think there ugly as fuck, and look very uncomfortable.

I'm ordering tomorrow.

Well I pretty much made up my mind, It's for sure the AKG K 701 Cans. I'm gonna get an amp soon.

Since they do require more power but aren't nearly as hard to power as the HD6-- series I'm going to get the HeadRoom Total BitHead for $159

In the meantime for Xmas my bro is going to buy me the FiiO's E5 which is only $24 I primarily want it for my mp3 player and on head-fi a lot of people say it's worth the small price. Soooooo.

No more contemplating about which cans to get, because I've ordered the AKG's.

Still waiting on the headphones, Should be here Monday.

I didn't know this but Harmon/Kardon and AKG are the same company. Interesting, I always rave about Harmon/Kardon receivers cause of the sound they put out but could never afford to put my money where my mouth is, lol.

Just got the Cans in the mail, and I can sum up the quality of the AKG K 701's in one word. Amazing.

There worth EVERY penny I paid at $235 with shipping.

I've got Alessandro MS2i (~grado sr325), but are switching to beyer 880 or 990 now.

Also considered the 701s, but it seems they are better for classical as opposed to metal music, and requires an amp. They do have killer looks though.

All Grado's look uncomfortable as fuck though. I ain't knocking the Grado's at all, I still might buy either a pair of Grado's sr80 or the senn HD280's.

I will say this though, If your listening to mp3's don't waste your time with anything under 192kbs because that's the bare minimum you can go, 128kbs sounds like pure shit. 192 is pushing it. I don't think I'll download anything under 320kbs anymore.

I'd really say Lossless is the way to go, I was listening to The Heart of Everything by Within Temptation and it sounded like pure garbage but it was encoded at 160kbs and it shows.

Any flaws in the music you'll hear it with the better cans, Kind of a downside with the better hardware I guess. Well It just forces you to get the best quality possible.

Sar let me know how those Beyers do ya, I'm curious. Sar the K 701's are made of pure sexiness, You have no idea. There huge but there great cans.

At the moment of ordering, I got cold feet, and wanted to get the K701s instead. Then I researched some more - but it's pointless. Around 50% say the beyers suck and akgs rule, and the other 50% say the opposite.

In the end I got the 880s as they were the cheapest (ordering from germany).

Still waiting for delivery - sold my Alessandros. They really are uncomfortable - Ï don't get why the comfort thing isn't explored more by the manufacturers, its my #2 concern after SQ.

Has anyone ever used a Altoids Cmoy amp? I'm going to get one for my mp3 player, and try it on the pc.

I've decided to get an actual amp for these cans. I've been reading up on the headphone amps and I feel the sound could be 20x better with one.
