My dad has the Hd650 and they are nice but I feel like an amp is a must. I love listening to music and xbox gaming and I use the HD595 with the Astro Mixamp and FiiO E7 and they sound heavenly
Yes, of course CD's sound better than MP3 files, iPOD's, etc. Especially CD's that have been remastered or recorded properly, and especially HDCD's or SACD's! Listen to SACD, with a good headphone amp, via the HD-595's, and you will have an eargasm!
I have the HD-595's, and they are incredible 'cans'! When i'm not listening to music via headphones, my system consists of very revealing (detailed) and timbrally accurate Magnepan (Magneplanar) speakers. So I am very demanding of quality. The HD-595's deliver in spades!
I plan to purchase the HD 595s as well. The performance with the iPod won't be the best unless you have some sort of mobile headphone amp. But the best part about the HD 595s (or so I read) is that it doesn't take a mammoth amp to get the most out of it. The mobile amp I'm looking at is only $150 and it can stream music through both my iPod and computer.
unless you illegaly download(shame on you!!) music from itunes is recorded in aac at 128kbps, this means that the song has been squashed, and quality put down a notch to save memory. CD music is over 300kbps, which means it will immeadiately sound better, as the recording has been squashed much less. so try that first before buying an amp.
im going to buy some HD 555's soon...i think im gonna be happy =D

I just recently got them, and everything I've listen to sounds amazing.
I upgraded from the PX 100's... so, yea, lol
I haven't heard an amped pair, so I really don't have anything to compare the two, but it still sounds great without an amp.
