I have the senn 580's. I think overall they are the best I've heard. I do note that they have their drawbacks. They tend to sound a little 'too smooth'. Sometimes they are also a little 'too good' and tend to overpower you with detail. I find that at work I sometimes prefer listening to my old sony v6 studio headphones. They just have a relaxed quality and are a little easier to listen to as 'background' music. Some other bad characteristics of the 580's are that they tend to sound loud to others in the vicinity, and they don't have any sound deadening ability. You hear EVERYTHING going on the room around you. The sony's are much better in this respect.
Headphones
I have been doing some research via the Web on headphones. From what I have found, the Sennheiser HD600's and Grado RS series is the level I am looking for.
I would like comments from others that have also investigated these and others. I have had no success at finding them locally so I can try them for myself.
I am also interested in a headphone amp, so I would appreciate advice on those as well.
Lastly, I am also interested in the following combo, AKG K1000 headphones and the SAC K1000 amplifier. Has anyone had any experience with these?
