alright well i am looking for a really good pair of headphones, so far i'm deciding between these 2 Sennheiser HD 555, Sennheiser HD 595. i want good bass and i dont really want to buy a amp, also going to use it with my ipod. just wondering if any of u have used these headphones personally ,are they any good, i like bass. and other suggestion for headphones
 
Accurate describes it best. Low frequencies sound great. The bass is going to sound how it was meant to sound. If you want to turn the bass up on whatever your source it, the headphones can take it but I don't fiddle with it.
 
Realistically, any headphones that overproduce bass aren't good headphones. The bass varies between songs like its suppose to and not bassy on every song because every song wasn't meant to be that way. You may come across songs with weak kicks probably due to them having bass-heavy equipment in their studio causing accurate sound reproduction headphones like these to expose that fact or they just didn't want bass. Then you will come across the songs with great bass. Anything that doesn't sound bassy isn't the headphones fault here because they're extremely accurate.
 
We have a pair of the Sennheiser Headphones HD280Pro. The sound out of it is great the bass is great. The tech team at school has them and they are great we use them for recording and for all of our ipods and they are great!!!!
 
Get out to a shop bro, take a CD and listen to them. People don't know what they're listening for, and you can pretty much discount 99% of the reviews on the internet. I've gt a pair of sennheiser hd250's and they're rubbish. No mid, they sound 'impressive' but are in no way right. The best pair of headphones I've had were a little pair of Sony's - they just sat on the ear rather than covering it, and they were stunning.

By all means buy online, but get out to a hi-fi shop and check out their stock. You'll be surprised how rarely money equates to quality
 
headphones or sound card

I have BOSE QuietComfort3, and would like to know if it is better to use a good X-FI card to simulate 7.1 in them, or to get a gaming headphone with multiple speakers?
Thinking a budget of 100 - 150
