Stuck between Sennheiser HD 518 or 598
Hey guys, as the title says, i cant decide which one to get. I will be using them with a X-FI Titanium HD for FPS games and metal/rock music on the computer. I have 270 dollars to spend, so money is not a problem, but i don't want to waste money on the HD598 if the 518 sounds just as good and...- Charlie Sheen

Amp/DAC for the HD518?
Just got the headphones, they're great but I sound is not loud at all. I think it's because of the laptop soundcard. The onboard speakers aren't that loud either. Anyways, I tried connecting the headphones through my Logitech Z323 speakers, and the sound coming from the headphones was amplified...- dudewithpants

I listen almost exclusively to metal and I'm thinking of getting either the Beyerdynamic DT 990 or the Sennheiser HD600.
So I currently have the HD518 and I was thinking I wanted an upgrade. My budget is below $400. I immediately jumped to the HD600 simply because I love the Sennheiser brand in general--I figured I can't go wrong. I've also received some other suggestions and among them was the DT 990 Pros...- CrimsonTowers

I tested songs from Daft Punk''s new album "RAM" and songs from Misery Signal's new album "Absent Light." My setup was Windows...- TrantaLocked
