Speaking of headphones, and to break up the iPhone pissing match, anyone have a set of over-the-ears they would recommend?
I am rocking a set of ~8 year old Sennheiser HD555s, they are great but I feel like I've started to notice some more "noise" if that's the correct term. Songs that have soft drums or instrumentals in the background sound kind of static-y and the bass isn't as crisp as it used to sound. The plastic frame is starting to crack a little bit too, at some point im gonna put them down too hard and they'll fall apart.
I tried some $250 Beyerdynamics a while ago that completely blew my skirt up. Call that the rough budget. I listen to a shitload of music at work, probably 4+ hours a day, so it's gotta be something that will last and have ideal clarity. I also know some people like to run desktop DACs to get the most quality possible out of a laptop, which I don't know much about but am open to.
Not really planning to buy anything soon, just considering working this angle for my upcoming birthday.
