Hi,

I'm an absolute ignorant about headphones,but unfortunatly I have got ears and I get tired of my cheap earphones.

My uses:

    music: rock,punk,eletronic(house,trance and others that I can't define) classic ->70%
    movies -> 10%
    gaming -> 20%

Also I would like to use them while I'm outside(public transports).

I have done a few researches around the web and these are my conclusions:
Sennheiser HD598 (160€):

    Can change the cable
    Very good soundstage
    Easy to drive with an amp(maybe a FiiO E11 and for home Xonar U3 if needed)
    Lack of strong bass

Beyerdynamic DT990 250 ohm (135€)

    Better sound (I have read that it has got more bass,but I don't know if I can hear the difference)
    3m of cables that I can't change
    I need 240€ (lowest price I have found) to drive it properly (E09K + FiiO E17)

I have read also about other headphones like AKG K701(198€)

Other price:

FiiO E11 50€

I would like to spend less than 300€ (headphones plus AMPand/or DAC)

Just for information I have got a Logitech Z5500 at home

I would give the Philips Cityscape Downtown a try. They seal really well for an on-ear headphones and the sound signature is my favorite for a headphone under $200. They simply are an awesome headphone.
