Possible trade: K702 for a closed phone

I just picked up a K702 and I also have a K701. I thought I had use for both but things have changed.... I actually find myself needing a good closed phone. I'd possibly like to trade the K702 for something, but I don't know what. There are plenty of cheaper closed cans, and plenty of more expensive ones, but not to many in the range of the K702. So I really don't even know what I'm looking for at this point. Anyone have an offer?

 

There are only 2 that I can think of. I am not really interested in the Denon D2000 simply because I find it ugly (unless woodied). The DT-770 models are not really on the same level as the K702 but when woodied or modded they become pretty good so I might consider one of those. Other than that I'm open for ideas; I'm not familiar with the Ultrasone lineup at all.

 

Please shoot me an offer and we can try to work something out.

I have mint DT880's here http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/493553/fs-ft-dt-880-250ohm-uk-eu#post_6669098 Great closed cans.

 

I am in the UK, so it may not be exactly ideal, but depending on whether there are any closer offers you may want to consider a trade.

 

Cheers.

Beyer DT-880's are indeed described as 'semi open', but I have to seriously disagree with the trade semantics as they apply to the modern versions anyway; I have three pairs of these (one balanced 600 ohm Manufaktur, bought on this forum, a 600 ohm vintage pair I've abused for years, and the premiums which I bought recently due to a temporary change in monitor setup, and are now FS/T).

 

I record/produce/mix a lot (usually at high SPL's), and with the newer versions I see zero overspill when recording vocals; a very good sign they are quiet to the outside world. Not at all like AKG 702s for example - great reference cans - but they bleed all over the shop.

 

Free bump to ya'll.
