Re: Headphones

Wow, I just read jcstites link to the newer HD 595's.
Sound like some killer phones for the money. MY older HD 580's
were well over $500.00 originally . The price of the 595's looks to be
about half. You won't go wrong with those phones. They also seem to
be fairly easy to drive, so that won't be an issue with the HD595's .

The review is right about the 580's being a little less forward . However, my older HD 250 were decidedly not, and I can tell you that the HD 580's are easier to listen to for extended periods with less fatigue as a result.
