i think it's important to have headphones as an OPTION, not as your only means of listening. |
Well there's no other option for me since I'm moving around the world and need to be as mobile as possible. So for a few years, it will be the ONLY option for me. That's why I need them to be good, while at the same time not too expensive ($500 max).
So how much would a $100 sound card improve the sound quality? Actually, just out of curiousity, how much would a $10000 sound card improve the sound quality? Would it be noticable?
Do I need some kind of amplifier by the way?

i've sorted a laptop setup. macbook, focusrite saffire pro and a pair of ATH M40 headphones. so £250 on monitoring/soundcard. if i had more to spend i'd consider the DT880s or sennheisers but these ATs are really good value for money. the sound is good and clear and so far translates quite well though i haven't had them long. mot importantly they are comfy and i can wear them for long periods without feeling uncomfortable. i think if you spend more than £300 on a pair of headphones the law of diminishing returns applies. also if your travelling you probably want sturdy as well - again the ATs feel pretty solid.

I like Sennheiser and people keep recommending these headphones so I think I've pretty much settled on either HD600 or HD650. I want to buy the HD650 because they are newer and more expensive. But they are not that much more expensive than the HD600 so I'm a little curious why those sound designers you mentioned, MSZ, are using the HD600. Is it because they simply are better for audio production? With that said, I don't think the difference is too big for me so it probably doesn't matter too much which ones I pick.
Now I just have to figure out what kind of soundcard I should buy. I would love one of those Traktor Audio 2, but I can't find any place where they sell them here (not even online!) and I don't want to go through the hazzle of importing unless it's absolutely necessary. So if I bought a pair of HD600/650 and wanted a soundcard for maximum $150, what would you guys recommend, other than Traktor Audio 2?
