As someone suggested earlier the best thing to do is go somewhere and listen to a few sets. Not knowing where you're located I cannot give suggestions on that, but here in California we have a few places like Guitar Center where you can usually listen to a few different sets before buying. In my mind this is a no-brainer because you NEED to eventually have 3 or 4 sets, they will all sound different and you'll only figure out which ones *you* really like by listening to a lot of material over long periods of time. If you see the logic of buying 3 sets over the next 18 months, then pick any one of them today and go enjoy. I think for bass practice the 7506's are going to work out great, but they aren't the perfect set of headphones. Surprise - none will be perfect even at 500 euros, much less 50, but every one suggested is probably worth owning over time. Just my 2 euros, ;-) Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
