Hi. I need help deciding on headphones. I'm thinking of Sennheiser pc350 and sennheiser hd555
PC350
- closed headphones
- has mic
- some forums say that it uses the same drivers that of the hd595 (which is better than the hd555)
- i haven't tested it because i'm from the philippines and we don't have it here. i'm going to buy online (ebay)
- it has 150 ohms impedance which could be a problem.
HD555
- open headphones
- we have it here and I have tested it, I loved it but it's expensive here
- doesn't have a mic
- can be used with ipod because i tested it with an itouch.
My questions are:
1. with 150 ohms on the pc350, can my Xonar dx drive it to its full? if not, can it deliver acceptable sound quality without an amp?
2. also, can i use pc350 (150ohms) on ipod? i think it will be too much for the ipod to drive isn't it?
3. which is better? music? movies, positional sound? gaming?
Thanks!
