The best closed headphones to use on a commute, for under $200? - Page 2

I tried the HD25 straight from my iPhone 4 and is sounded pretty darn good to my ears but will be even better with an amp.

Sennheiser is also in the process of releasing a new version of the HD25 with a lower impedance specifically for iPhone type devices as well.

HD25-1 ii - fine straight from an iPod/iPhone. Great for your listed genres, way better than average isolation (I wear mine on the subway and bus system), built like a tank, engaging fun sound - really ticks every button for your needs, imo. 

M50 is circumaural and a lot bigger than the HD25s, but probably more comfortable. Both should sound fine out of an iPod.

Yeah +1 on the HD25s

Would've said the HD25 1-II

 

... But then I saw this..

They don't look that bad... You see people on TV wearing them all the time

 

 

+1 HD25. You'd like to spend something like $25 for the FiiO e6 to improve the SQ. It sounds a bit too lean out of an iPod to me.

HD25 or pre-loved ESW-9.

Beyerdynamic T50p is not bad either.  Liking mine so far.
