Best £150 Headphones?

[Reubenno]

Hello,

I'm looking at upgrading my current headphones (Sennheiser HD 449s) to a higher end pair. I've been looking at the Sennheiser HD 598s as they are around £130 and have good reviews. I really like the neutral sound of my 449s but I wouldn't mind a touch more bass. Would the HD 598s be a good upgrade?

 

Also I currently have an Asus Xonar DGX soundcard, would it be worth upgrading to a USB DAC and amp such as the FiiO E10K?

 

Thanks.

something better than the 598s is this

Thanks guys, I'll consider the SHP9500 too, they are a fair bit cheaper than the HD 598s which would give me some more money left over for a better amp.

You won't really need an amp for the SHP9500. They are pretty sensitive to use.
