Tri_Edge:
Those headphones are good and all and I might buy one of them myself.

Audioengine has a great line up. Don't know about their A2 but the A5 is crazy.
At the least Audioengine won't blow a hole in your pocket.
But if you want to go all the way for your desk and you have enough room, Paradigm Atom and a Onkyo amp.

This is definitely not the place to be asking for Hi-Fi advice.

So whats your first impressions like? Personally I think they suck for listening to music

I've been using AKG's for the past few weeks as I'm doing university level music stuff over the summer, but to be honest, for their price, I'm a bit iffy... I personally only own a Sennheiser HD280, which is only ~$100, but for the AKG 701's costing almost 3x more, I honestly don't hear THAT much of a difference to warrant the huge price difference. Of course, I might not have the most gifted ears in the world, but having been listening to delicate music (eg, classical) for my entire life, I consider myself pretty damn good at noticing minute differences and all that jazz. I'm not saying the AKG's are bad persay, just that the AKG701 specifically(since I haven't used many other AKGs) in my personal opinion aren't worth the price.
