Guide
My sister stays in London & wants to give me a £200 (if needed from UK) or $400 (if needed from USA) gift & only headphones are priced good in UK so which one should I buy

also suggest a headphone amp for $480 max

do not suggest PC upgrades as I have kept $2400 with me for that

P.S. She will buy the Headphones now & send me soon but I cannot buy a headphone amp before February 2009 so can I use it on a Auzentech X-Plosion 7.1 Sound Card till then?
 
dont go for Reference headphones when you dont have to make or mix music.those you listed are awesome for that purpose giving a FLAT response.

get Sennheisers Consumer series or Sony HD series headphones
 
go for SENNHEISER HD650 they retail at nearly 500$ in newegg.

HD650has unmatched audio reproduction and delivers deep bass.

You have to buy an amplifier to get the best quality out of it

Then chuck the Beyers and AKGs rightaway, as nish_higher said they are designed for a flat response.

The 650s are you best bet, since you don't mind amplifying them also!
 
noo..this amp---

S/N ratio > 96dB unweighted ref. full output
> 108dB "A" weighted ref. full output
Frequency response 30Hz to 75kHz < ± 1.0dB
the headphones--
10 - 39,500 Hz (-10dB)
good for rock music..in hip hop the bass would feel underpowered
 
The AKG K702 came out a few days back and should be available online very soon if not already..~$450 - 500... The K701 might get a little cheaper and possibly be phased out so look for them too. There are quite a few used ones getting sold off for some $200-ish.
