What would be some top headphones that I could buy used for under $400

I usually don't use my amps.  Music: acoustic, chanson, and this week-Macy Grey.

Audio-Technica ATH-AD900's are good for acoustic and classical.

No amp = Consider high-end Grados RS1/RS2,HF2 etc, Audio-Technica AD900/W1000x, Beyerdynamic DT880/990 low ohm  versions or a used Stax system like the Koss ESP 950 with amp.

 

All for under $400 except the Koss which is maybe $50 - $100 more.

 

All the above should work well without any special amplifier. :)

 

I haven't heard any of them so I dunno which is good for the type of music you mentioned , but they are the top headphones you can use without an amp.

Thank you both-I was leaning twords the ad900 to begin with (and denon d5000, perhaps) .  Thanks for the back-up.

How about an old receiver for $10-$50 and a Sennheiser HD-650?  You'd get great sound.
