Any Audiophiles here?

Pretty sure you're not expecting miracles from a cell phone built in amp, lol. I can pick up how horrid some of my 128kbps MP3's are even with my low end IEMs, lol. Unfortunately, I can't justify spending tons of money on good headphones because most of them aren't durable at all. You have to coddle them, which sorta defeats the purpose of headphones, IMO.

Well no, of course not. However, I still try to obtain my music in 320kbps when possible.

Honestly a cheap cheap pair of headphones will sound better than a set of expensive headphones on a celly. You need to push speakers closer to the rated wattage to get the sound they are made for.

Yeah, which is why I'm not suggesting him to go out and buy a pair of Grados, lol. I know the limitations of my headphones, and I don't care. I don't have any high end equipment. Like I said, I'm not exactly deep into it, I just appreciate listening to anything that sounds better than the average skull candy headphone set, or even worse, the stock ipod headphones.

For the record, my main use isn't going to be my Droid X. It may happen from time to time, but I know for the best sounding music, I'm going to need something better like a computer.

After further research, I can't really pass up a deal like the HD595's. Sounds like a killer set for dirt cheap, considering they used to retail for over $300.

[sublime_whatigo]

You'll love them! Seriously do not plug them into your droid, even a computer will not sounds like a home reciever will.

[DocWalt]

Yep, the HD595's are sick. Pretty much any Sennheiser is great.

I can't wait to try them with my Creative Fatal1ty sound card. My only concern though is that I keep reading they have weak bass. What's your guy's opinions?

PS - they'll be in tomorrow Gotta love prime shipping from Amazon.

If your the kind of guy that throws 2 12" subs in his car with stock speakers then yes you will be sorely disappointed with the bass. Everything is well balanced with nothing overpowering.
