So at the moment I am compiling a list of potential headphones to take a look at. I do not yet know what my price range will be. I have been combing this forum for awhile now and whenever a thread pops up where someone is asking about headphone recommendations I keep seeing the same names showing up over and over, sennheiser, beyerdynamic, denon, grados, audio-technica, and akg. Especially sennheiser and audio-technica. A few models in particular:
$30
Plantronics GameCom 367
$40
Plantronics GameCom 377
JVC HA-RX700
$60
Sennheiser HD515
$80
Sony MDR-XB700
$100
ATH AD700
Sennheiser HD555
$130
ATH-M50
ATH A700
$175
AKG k271
$200
Denon AHD-2000
Beyerdynamic dt770
Sennheiser HD380 PRO
$250
Beyerdynamic dt880
Beyerdynamic dt990
Sennheiser HD595
$300
ATH A900
$350
AKG 702
Sennheiser HD600
Sennheiser HD650
$450
AKG 701
$600
Denon AHD-5000
So what brands or models/units should I be looking at, what have you used that you would recommend to others to try out?
I also have a second question. Is the headphone amp in an asus xonar essence STX sufficient for a beyerdynamic dt770 or denon AHD-2000, or would buying an external headphone amp make a huge difference?
