Sennheiser HD595 Replacement

[Scooby_WR1]

Hi guys,

One of the ear pieces has snapped off my 595's, i know i can get them repaired but i see this as a good reason to upgrade.

I use them for gaming but mainly for music and they are run off a Fiio E9.
What do you guys recommend for a budget of £300?

I did look at the HD 600 and 650 when I first noticed that the 595 had started to crack so I have ordered the HD 650 today.

Looking forward to hearing them. Do they sound good out of the box or do they require a burn in period?

They have arrived today so once I get home I'm going to try them.
I have a Fiio e17 too so I'm going to try them with the sound card and e9 then with the e17 and e9 to see which sounds better to me.
