Yeah its not ideal, but still being a college student means I have to be really picky with what I spend my money on. So the all-in-one solution seemed good to me, and the Duet is a nice product. I'd of course love to have a Benchmark or something for my monitoring, but I'd love a Ferrari, too. :p | ||

Currently 555's are 85 dollars on Amazon, what other headphones would you suggest in this price range? I'm a big fan of Sennhesier but am obviously open to other companies. if you wanna branch out, maybe you'd wanna try ATH | ||

It is the Grado HP2  Much more desirable than PS1000 imho! Grado is going in the wrong direction with their GS1000/PS1000 lines. The old school HP1/HP2 and briefly available PS-1 are Grado's best! | ||

I'm not familiar with either, but my understanding is that an HD 555 is not really that significant of an upgrade over an HD 280. Granted, there's open vs. closed to consider, and they do sound quite different. I'd just recommend waiting until funds allow and then jumping at a good deal in the $150 range. | ||

Use warranty to get a new one, warranty automatically renews, repeat ad nauseum. That's how I've been getting my headphones for the past 5 years. lol how do you treat your headphones? You should use the Sennheiser HD201/2 They are about $30 and are cheap good headphones :> | ||

Tried some Alessandro MS1's and they were just OK. | ||

But really if you're looking for some good cans check these out. They look cool, and super comfortable and have an awesome automatic cutoff when you take them off. Any other audiophiles want to argue? I dare ya. ![[image loading]](http://es.woodbrass.com/images/woodbrass/AKG%2BK271%2BMKII.JPG) | ||

I have an Asus essence ST (pci version of a high end sound card, with built in amp, that can handle 600oms.). It has a -124db SNR, and is pretty much amazing for the hd650. ![[image loading]](http://sennheiserhd650review.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Sennheiser%20HD650.jpg) | ||

I notice it 80% of the time. Getting ripped sideways out of the sockets multiple times due to me standing up and tripping over myself breaks em pretty fast. | ||

I have previously owned: ATH-ES7 (headphone jack broke :/ but I wasn't big on the sound anyways), KSC75 (loved the sound, hated the openness, hated the clips), and am using MeElec M9's (like the sound, realized i hate IEMS) I've been looking at JVC offerings, for the most part. | ||

At that price most headphones are almost the same with the only difference being personal comfort and wearability | ||
