Crunch time: headphones $150....


Looking at Sennheiser hd 555, Denon ahd 1000, audio techs that were in Stereophile(SAMS SPACE)...any thoughts?

I use the Sen 650's in balanced mode with Headroom balanced amp and Cardas balanced cable...The best sound I've ever heard.
You should be able to grab the excellent Grado SR80's (or even SR125 if you're lucky) for that money.
I stopped using my Sennheiser HD280's after buying the Grado's. Some find the Grado's a bit bright, but for me that helped the fact that my old ears have a bit of top end "roll-off"!
