it sounds expensive, but for what you get at that price the d5000s are amazing value. they are towards the higher end of the scale obviously, but as i said before, their equivalent now sells at 1200.

Yeah, I'm perfectly happy with my M50s.  I've listened to some LCD-2s before and I wasn't blown away or anything.  They were a bit better than Beyer DT880s which I've also spent a few hours listening to, but weren't nearly as comfortable.  But hey, whatever floats your boat.

lossless sounds way better. V0 you can get a brighter and louder sound, but the mid and low end sound ends up being grittier and you can't turn up the volume without getting distortion.

All We Perceive said:
I mainly run my laptop to my amp/speakers or listen with headphones both via the onboard motherboard audio out.  Especially with headphones, I'm pretty into trying to get the best sound I can.  I have heard that having an external sound card will tangibly increase sound quality due to the subpar quality of the amplifier in audio out.  Has anyone done this?  Is the sound quality really that much better?




Yes.

Especially for music production.
