What are your current headphones and the best ones you have heard/used ?
Reason i am asking is the cable on my sennheisers has gone on me [i could replace it but i fancy some new headphones]
at the moment i am looking at a pair of these.

If anyone fancies lending [well giving] me 3k then i can get a projector too

Ok here goes.
We've got some Senn HD600s at work, ( I figure the 650s are replacing the 600s )
Very very nice headphones. Superb sound quality and clarity. They are open backed headphones so they leak noise. But in your bedroom this isn't really an issue.
They are Sennheisers so expect the cable to go on them, this is a case with all Senns that I have ever owned but its not enough to stop me coming back to them.
Senn HD250 mkII Linear - Got these at home, very nice enclosed headphones although the band doesn't really hold them tight enough to the head for my like. Like the 600s, full sized pads cover the ear and sit on the head for comfort.
Senn HD25 - Use these at work, closed back much smaller phones, usefull for DJing but still very good sound.
Bayer Dynamic DT100s - The industry standard headphones. Whenever you see sound people on the TV, they are wearing these ugly bastards with the white cans. Quite bassy, top range aint too good. Very good at cutting out sound but very unfortable.
Mesuda 5.1 - Hmmm I use these most of the time on the pc. Only for one reason. They have a mic. Sound quality compared to the Senns is crap. 5.1 You dont notice too much over headphones, get a decent speaker setup if you want 5.1. The headphone amp picks up my mobile phone itnerferance like nobodys business. Also when the volume on cable is set high you get noise.

I personally would go for the HD650s. If they are as good as or even better than the 600s then you're in for a treat. You'll want to listen to all your music again through them as they really are something else.
