@NV: Thanks for clearing that up. Those headphones are definitely a no for me then.
Well, at least one review mentioned owning several headphones, including in the $120+ price range, and being still very satisfied with the 780. So yes, it's subjective, but that at least suggests that it might be better than your average onboard sound or low-end card. Well, whatever, I still wanna use my card so as I said, I'm not getting them. (Speaking of which, ionboard audio sounds interesting...
)
My budget would be around the 50-buck mark... That said, I don't really need new headphones right now. I was just looking at possibly upgrading. And one of my main criteria is comfort, as I often wear them for hours at a time, nearly every day; as long as they sound good - i.e. I can hear the bass, no crackling or obvious distortion, etc. - I don't really care about sound quality that much.
I'm probably gonna keep my current ones for a while until they start to fall apart (the mic's already broken XD), since they suit my needs perfectly.
