Parts Express Headphones?

headset noob here...

http://www.parts-express.com/webpage...er=esf042607-5

I got this link in a parts express e-mail today...

are any of these guys any good?
I am needing some new headsets for work, and this e-mail got me thinking ...
specifically:
http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=241-416

I usually listen to compressed music from my laptop, so audiophile quality headsets is not a must, but I would like to get a better set than the cheapo's at kmart ;)

thanks,
Mike

Sennheiser HD580 or HD 600.Can be found cheap around web other than parts-express.

agreed^^

senns are probably the best value for what you want.

thanks for the info guys...

I was looking at the senns website, and noticed the wireless headphones...
I have no doubt these are not on par with wired headphones, however these would work much nicer at work since I have 2 desks (1 with the computer, and 1 for drawings/paperwork)...

should I consider http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=241-448
or is the sound total garbage?

again, I do not plan on a dac & amp for work, just using the computer's audio out, so I am thinking the lack of audio quality in wireless won't be noticed since other parts of the audio chain are also inferior...

thanks again for any advice
Mike

Whatever you do don't buy a wirerless headphone.Maybe look at the Grado SR-60 as they don't need an amp.
