my 497's have lasted for years now. they look cheaply designed, bu tthey don't break

not sure he needs an amp, the higher end creative cards have decent amps themselves right?

i'm definitely buying a pair of senns, if only these MDR-V6's will just break already...

I bought refurbed 595s from eCost about a year ago for a good price. When I got them the metal mesh on the side had a huge dent in it. I contacted Senn. and they sent me a brand new one in retail box about a week later. I have been a fan of Senn. ever since then. Not to mention the fact that they sound great.

Now I just gotta figure if I need an amp with them.
