What would you recommend?

Depends on your budget. I've never really found that HD595s improve very much when amped though.

Hmm... I'm thinking around 200-300.

Meh, I want to try it out... lol

If you want a portable amp, the Corda 2Move is very good:

Click amplifiers on the left. Jan Meier is an excellent person to deal with also; his service is excellent.

The Arietta would sound better than the 2Move as it's a home amp. But obviously you wouldn't be able to take it anywhere.

edit: just remembered. Sennheiser's love tube amps. They synergize very very well. This amp:

Would be an excellent choice. I was considering getting one soon.

Well Scott, I ordered the DT 880's and they are supposed to arriving on Monday so hopefully they will be excellent. I've been looking forward to getting these beasts for a while now; I hope they don't disappoint.

They're good, just remember they'll never be their best unless you get a headphone amp. But that's the case with pretty much all headphones between $300 with a couple of exceptions.

Wow, just wow.

1. Budget: try to keep it under 100, a little over isnt bad
2. Usage: 60 music 40 gaming
3. Music Taste: Mostly rock
4. Sound signature, I like bass
5. Closed

Equation Audio RP21 or Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro

DJ headphones interesting.
