Default A8 and Quiet Comfort

After experiencing and buying some headphones that are available in Indonesia, like MDR-D77, MDR-NC20, MDR-E888, MDR-CD750, Sony Budokan Headphones,

I would say my favorites are come to Three:

For all-time used: Bang and Olufsen A8 which is sooo comfortable and sounds great.

For Accoustic jazzz sound is Sony MDR-D77, great mid tones for teh accoustic bass.

For Classical and other music: Bose Quietcomfort 2 (anyway it is just being endorsed as the best investment value headphone by Forbes magazine) (no flame please ;-)

As quoted in Forbes:
"Bose QuietComfort 2
Sound Quality: 4 Comfort: 5 Price: $299
VERDICT: A good investment for music junkies who find inner-ear
phones intrusive or uncomfortable.
Bose has come up with yet another way to deliver great sound. TheQuietComfort headphones use noise-cancellation to keep out most external noise, but the sound is less intense than sound-isolating earphones--even if you turn them up. There is no hiding these buds; they fit over your ears instead of inside them."

I agree 100% with Forbes.
