[QUOTE="kris9031998"]Well, im looking to use these for mostly alt. rock, possibly pop and maybe techno. For games, i plan on using them on FPS games mostly - As in something with very strong sound effects (ex. BF3). And the 300-400 price should only be for the headphones, so i dont mind shelling out another 100 for the amp. I prefer isolation. NamelessPlayerIf you prefer isolation, then scratch the HD650 off your list right now, it's open. The D2000 is closed, but allegedly isn't all that isolating for a closed headphone (haven't tried it myself). Still, people seem to be quite pleased with its overall sound quality. I actually can't think of very many other notable closed headphones, other than the Thunderpants (Fostex T50RP drivers in custom wood cups, $500 and out of your budget) and varying Ultrasone models (but what worries me there is an allegedly recessed midrange on most of them; not good for rock and pop if you ask me, since I like my vocals to stand out from the music). There's also countless Audio-Technica closed models I haven't investigated (A-series and W-series). I would say HD650s are fine. Sure people prefer isolation in that, they don't want to hear a screaming outside world, but that isn't really the reality for most people in a location suitable for headphone gear to begin with. The 650s do have a slight muffling effect on outside noises, and they definitely are great for gaming( Battlefield 3 sounds amazing through them) I haven't heard the D2000s so I can't really comment on that
Hey Nvidia I really want to make sure whatever amp I get it powers the 650s very well, without any degradation to the Grados sound quality. I was reading about sensitivity levels and the 8-fold rule. Is the Audio-GD good in that department. I'm thinking I don't want to mess with the Fiio issue of stacking the E7 into the E9 since I don't have any need for a portable amp

My understanding is that the Denon AHD-2000 is the "best" headphone in that range. It's subjective, though, since the Denon is flatter in some areas and the Sennheiser in others (generally you want a perfectly flat response):
Further, you'll need a good Headphone Amp to power them (that's NVIDIATI's department).
Good luck,
Boz

Want amp do you recommend?
Depends on the sound you like. There are quite a few headphones in the same quality tier, but with very different sounds to appeal to different people . My choice would be the Grado SR325is because I listen to tons of rock and metal, but I own the HD650s and they are pretty fantastic, but I can finally agree- only get them if you're going to properly amp them.

Do you mean like how the guy above said? As in, i need a good one to get a nice, proper sound of how its supposed to sound like or what?
Correct
