Sennheiser HD595 vs Sennheiser HD 555

Klo · 1 Dec 2007 at 16:47

Hi,

Bascially I was wondering whether the Sennheiser HD595 were worth the extra 40 odd pounds more than the HD555's.

I guess the sound quality is better, but noticably? I have a xfi gamer, is that good enough?

Any input would be appreciated

Cool, thanks guys, I'll think I'll save the £40 and buy the 555's

5xx series demand dedicated headphone amplifiers

Do they? I was under the impression that although it may help a little, plugging them into a conventional headphone socket would still allow them to sound great.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, but honestly, I do have a budget (think student), and can't go around spending £180 on a pair of headphones. I'd rather buy a better graphics card

So I'm afraid its going to be the HD555, as I only have mp3's and a few CD's meaning I probably won't notice the difference. Out of interest, are there any other makes of headphones that are any good?
