I'm going off to college after 2 years of community college, and after some graduation presents, I have about 300 bucks to spend on a sizable audio upgrade. I'm looking for some new cans to complete my life. Not really sure on how much to spend on each part of the setup, so i figured i'd ask you guys for some advice.
I do a lot of gaming and listen to hip hop, rock, alternative, punk, solo artist stuff, some techno, and metal. I'll probably use these with a zune, so either a portable amp or some low impedance headphones would be almost essential. These won't be sitting on a stand 24/7, and may be moved from home to home frequently, so build quality is of high importance too.
Basically I've been looking at the ultra low impedance DT770s with a low end Xonar with no amp, the senn 580s used with an amp and soundcard, the AKG 702s and a low end soundcard and amp, or the 225is with an undecided amount of accessories.
Thanks, I appreciate all suggestions.
