Headphone Recommendations How Does Sennheiser HD 600 Compare
As I'm getting quit paranoid about the manager complaining about the sound in the new apartment I moved into, it looks like I'm going to be relying more on headphones then ever to listen to DVD's, TV & CD's through my Denon 3801 system. I current have a Sennheiser HD-555 but based on the reviews I am currently planning to get the Sennheiser HD-600 which retails for $550 or so but I can get used/refurbished for $200 on Amazon.com. I originally was going to go for the Sennheiser HD-650 but one of the reviews I read said the 600 was much better.
Anyone have any recommendations? Any other brands & models to consider. Price right now is not a factor, quality is my factor. Any help appreciated. Thank You,
I don't know how the HD-600 could be better than the HD-650

When all the 650 really is is a 600 that uses hand matched and tested drivers.
I hope you have a headphone amp too, as the 600, or 650 is a 300 ohm headphone, and will not reach decent SPL without a headphone amp.
If you like the HD-555, then the real step-up is the HD-595. It's also a 50 ohm headphone, and uses better drivers than the HD-555.
I've found it's best to use Pricegrabber.com

Always use "bottom line pricing" as shipping and tax can really add up.
