I just broke my Grado SR-80s (don't ask) but they're paperweights right now (no audible sound from either speaker).
I'm looking for a new set and I had my eye on the Sennheiser HD595...how different will these sound from the Grado SR80s? Any other suggestions?
I mostly listen to all types of music with them on my PC (Auzentech x-Meridian with LM4562 opamps) to give you an idea of what drives them. Analog out from X-Meridian to an old Denon (AVR-484 lol) and then the headphones plug into that.
My other usage is on my laptop on rare occasions although it's analog out seems rather powerful compared to other laptops so resistance isn't too much of an issue...I DO NOT have or plan on getting a headphone amp so keep that in mind with your suggestions...also price can't exceed $180 (it's the price I found the HD595's for). Thanks.
