Well what music do you listen too?

Also what are you going to be using them for?

Want lots of bass? Beyer DT770 Pro/80 ohm. No contest.
The bass will tighten up the better amped they are.
I have a set unamped (well maybe thats half amped as I have an EMU 1820M soundcard I'm running them through) and I'm loving them for music, films and games.

Using them for music, i listen to a lot of reggae, rock and quite a bit of drum and bass.

Can only really go up to halfway unless you want to destroy your ear drums!
