I want to buy a pair of over-the-ear phones for my MacBook Pro for casual listening, price up to $150. What sounds fairly good in this range? How much can a computer drive in a headphone--is small better?
Ok, I am being steered toward Sennheiser, and that's fine with me--I have no allegiance at this point. So there are the Momentums and the 598's. I like the idea of an open back--not sure why, probably because I listen to Maggies. I don't need a high SPL, don't like hard-hitting bass---a balanced sound is good for me. I am most concerned with not incurring hearing loss through distortion or loudness. Open back then? Or are the Momentums a big leap up over the 598s? Thanks!
