Need some headphones advice! (:

Monster Turbines.

Looks gorgeous, sound is amazing as well. They're going for.. $99 now? I got them when they came out at $179. :(

I'm very tempted to say the Beats Solos since you said sound quality didn't matter as much as looks.

However, I'm going to put my vote for the Sennheiser PX100. They look good and the carrying case is fantastic, but they leak sound a lot. That's not to say that the sound quality isn't good though!

I agree with Nihility. i was gonna say the Equation RP15MC and then i read that post.

the only Equation that fold, very comfy for carrying, i pack mine in a ATH-FC700A bag, the cable is super sturdy, that orange looks way cool and needless to say, the sound is awesome, specially for bass heads. they might bit uncomfy if your head if big. detachable cord is always welcome, only for 49$. i love mine so much that i've thinking to upgrade to either 21 or 22x (cant decide which)

i completely forgot about the portable ones! doh!

If you get either the rp-21 or rp-22x youll have to let me know how they sound vs the 15's as id like some sturdy throw in my backpack when going on a trip headphones (my only closed backs are ultrasone pro 750's atm)

the rp-21's are much more balanced, clear and punchy low mids and decent push on the low end, the highs sparkle, and they are driven decently well with no extra amp directly from a laptop or ipod.

the 22x's are much thumpier and have a different pad setup than the 21's do, which seem to improve the low end but muddy the detail a little.

basically, if you need THUMP go for the 22x and if you need anything else 21's.

i will throw this out there, mostly for fun, but beyer pads fit the bigger equations, and my brother has a set of 22x's with beyer pads that are a sweet medium between 22x stock and 21's, you get most of the low end without the muddiness

I'm going more for the 22x now, because all i read is like they were bigger rp21 (punch loud bass leads the sound) isolates very good too.

only con, the pads is not deep at all, and although the driver is well covered and its soft, it press on my ear, but this is a little complain, unless you are gonna use them for 3 hours +. i notice the "double earpads" in the 22x hoe do they work? are they soft enough not to press my ear?

the orange cups looks sweet. too bad the 22x are silver.

andi'd have in mind about the beyer, any specific model?

Vietforlyfe, you cant go wrong with the rp15, just 50$ bang for the buck without doubt. but they are "small circumaural" look for Joker's 'shootout 59 portable headphones compared' for a very good review, which made me buy them in first place.

B&H can not be more of a trust worthy place.  Don't worry they are really good with there customer.  A very well know place for electronics, especially for photography.

B&H? They're the most legitimate supplier of pro audio I can think of.

You might want to take a look at these as well. They're pretty much the same headphone but the blue model might strike your fancy at a lower price. Also it has a much shorter cable so u look less goofy using full size cans. k81's cable is 2.5 m (8.2 ft.)

Btw, if you're on noisy subways and buses, reconsider buying noise-isolating IEMs,

These AKG cans don't have enough isolation to block out track noise, so you'll end up cranking up the volume and damaging your hearing.

Etymotics are what makes the crappy ancient tracks of the NYC subway bearable.

Klipsch Image ONE are very good sounding headphones and they isolate well.
