[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 1379, member: 18"] Headphones are beyond the dark side. I do about 90% of my listening on my cans with crossfeed and a hint of EQ (thank you foobar2k) thesedays and it almost ruins listening to many speakers. An A/B headhone <-> speaker in an audition is usually very unfair if the room is problematic. I recomend you try some of the new cheap Sens first (HD202 methinks) and see how you like it (by most accounts they wil be fine. Personally I find the Sens a little too dark sounding and went with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 instead. You gain a lot of detail with cans but loose out on some of the visceral qualities and staging. It's a liveable trade-off but it doesn't appeal to everybody. [/QUOTE]
