Hi, I'm looking to buy a new set of headphones, with possible a DAC and amp if needed. The problem is, I can't really try out too many types at local stores due to limited selection where I am. The main place I'll be using them is off of my pc, which has a Xonar DG in it, and I also have Corsair SP2500 speakers and Sennheiser PC 350. I've read a lot of the threads on here about basshead headphones, but it seems like I can't find a lot of them online anymore (discontinued)
I wish I had a more discerning ear for music, but to be honest I'm a sucker for huge amounts of bass, which tends to muddy the sound I know. I listen to a lot of trip hop and drum and bass, and since I live in an apartment I want a real wicked set of cans to have as loud as I want. Around 500 bucks for the headphones, with more for an amp is acceptable for me.
I've currently been looking at - Sennheiser HD 650, Hifiman He400, Sennheiser momentum, AKG k702, Beyer DT880, AkG Q701, Grado SR325si, and possibly using a Fiio E17 with E09K amp\dac. (optical output from sound card) or alternately getting a Xonar essence Xtx or Creative titanium HD.
Thanks for any suggestions.
