Thanks everyone for your inputs. I'll check into head-fi. I think I even started an account there awhile ago but that was as far as I got.
And yes, you are all correct when you say I should be able to get into some really good headphones for the budget. I read up a few reviews this morning and some said that the over-whelming bass began to cause headaches. I went back to the store this afternoon and put 'em on again, for about four minutes longer than I did yesterday and I almost couldn't stand it. They still sound good. Clear and undistorted which is what I think impressed me. But I'll never listen to headphones that loud.
I actually have a pair of Shure SE-110 or 115 or whatever that entry model is into their in-ear phones. I was always happy with them but I really want a good pair of around the ear style phones. Something that'll go good with a tube amp and an iPod/iPhone alike. Anywho, I'll check out those websites mentioned but if anyone still has any other recs I'd be very happy to hear them.
Thanks again for the inputs.
