let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Sennheiser HD600 is an absolute reference.

Greetings all - I'm new to the forum.

I am in a quandary - I need a decent pair of headphones, can be open or closed, but should be over ear [not buds]. I can spend up to around 150.oo. I've asked in various audio equip. forums, and it seems different cans are suitable to/for different kinds of music, so I thought I would ask some prog heads their opinions, as prog is what I listen to most. And yes, prog has a wide range of sounds, and I like many, but what really floors me is intense & aggressive - such as Crimson's Red or Larks' Tongues'... 

I will be plugging them directly into the Phones jack of an Onkyo TX-8410 amp/receiver.

Sennheiser HS555, 580 & 590 have been recommended, as well as Grados, Allessadro MS1, Beyerdynamic DT770, AKG K 240s ...

Any suggestions/comments/thoughts greatly appreciated!

Cleo
