Well I have heard about the Sennheisers before and read several personal reviews about them being wonderful. I have never heard of those pair of headphones before.

It would be a wonderful experiment if you are willing to get them and try them out for us

Otherwise, I would PROBABLY go with the Sennheisers. I have my doubts about how accuratly a pair of headphones can reproduce surround sound..........................

My personal advise.

Are you sure the Sennheiser 570s will be properly driven without a headphone amp?

I have the Sennheiser HD497s (cheap at newegg) and love them. If I were to buy another pair of headphones for PC use it would be the Grado SR60s just to be able to compare (most sites say Grado is better but also more expensive).

I vote for Sennheiser. Or Grado, if you have some more money to burn. Wouldn't trust nothing else...:shrug:
