Ted, if you were serious about spending $300 on a set of headphones, then I'd suggest you spend that $300 on a good audio interface instead. The Presonus Firebox comes bundled with Cubase LE...suddenly you would have a zero latency recording environment with a state of the art recording software included...all the tracks you'll ever want. I'm just getting used to a whole new world of recording. It's easy once you learn it.

But I wouldn't do it unless your PC was fairly new with plenty of memory and a good dual-core style processor.

I'm still using my old Sony headphones from about 1985. I can't believe they still work. That was a well-spent $50, I guess.
