I need a set of closed headphones for DJing. Right now I have some AD700s, and although they sound great they aren't closed. They also have a ugly headband, I need to find some way to replace that.
Anyway, my main concern is isolation. It'd also be nice if they were comfortable, and of course they have to sound good. I'm really worried about comfort, right now I wear my AD700s all day and I know there is no way any closed headphone with any decent amount of isolation is going to come close. Here is the list I have right now:
HD 25-II - Seems a very popular DJ headphone, I'm a bit worried about comfort though.
SRH 840 - Heard a lot about them here, but isolation seems to be one of it's weak points
ATH M50 - Not sure about the strong/weak points on these
HD 280 - I've heard these once before, tons of isolation but dull sound. Also lots of clamp.
The absolute price limit is 150$ USD. They will be used with either a NI audio 2 DJ, or a cowon X5L.
