Good to hear. I just won an auction for a pair of 595's for $172.

That's a great price.

I thought so too. It was too good of a deal to pass up.

Thanks for all your help guys, I really appreciate it.

I got the headphones in today. I have to say that I am VERY impressed. Unlike the bose headphones I have, the bass is very well balanced. Everything is extremely crisp, and you can hear every detail of the vocals. I am noticing certain things about songs that I had never noticed before, somewhat made me stop for a second, as I'm used to hearing the same things through the phones, then something alien comes out and surprises me. Weird at first, but i'm really starting to like it after listening to them all evening.

check out the HD600's (second hand) very neutral sounding. i've got the HD650's, great sounding but perhaps a little too warm and flattering for some things

If you are not using a dedicated headphone amp or decent hifi amp you will be missing out on a lot, I have run my sennie 414 (real old school) straight from my MP3 player and also through a DIY valve headphone amp. the difference is like night and day and this will improve with better headphones as the impedance tends to be higher (around 300 ohms) on better phones and they need a bit of driving.

Ah... well... Bit too late, but I wouldn't consider Sennheiser in that price range.
I'd go with AKG or Beyer. But that's a bit too late now.
They will definately be a LOT better than your boses, so that's good
