Sennheiser HD595, worth getting for a PC ?

[ead]

So
I was thinking about getting this headphones.
I don't have (right now) and headphones amp, so I will connect them to my sound card direct.
What do you think?
How good are they? both for games and music?

The 50 ohm version (which I think is the only one they sell now?) is very easy to drive by a decent sound card, therefore, they are fine computer headphones. I find the HD595's to be well-rounded and do music, games, and movies pretty well for a good price.

When you start talking about the HD600 and 650, then you want a nice amp and source, which is not really targeted to the everyday computer use market.

I use the HD 595's connected directly to the HT Omega Claro+ sound card - it sounds awesome!!! I use it for blu-ray, dvd, CD audio, and PC gaming. I highly recommend these bad boys. Amazon has them for under $200 (I bought mine from amazon a few months ago):
