Help me find the right On Ear for my Wife

Hi All,

 

I need to fnd some On Ears for my wife and need some suggestions to investigate further. However, there are some minimum requirements:

 

1) Closed back

2) Must sound good without the need of an amp - will be played directly from a Cowon S9

3) Must be light - she tried out my Ultrasone Pro900 and complained that the weight of them was crushing her head into her neck

4) She liked her old PX200, but they are falling to bits and leak too much for office use.

 

I have seen that my choice include Sennheisers and Audio Technicas - does anyone have any recommendations in these or other makes?

 

Thanks

JVC Flats? I think they sound way better than the old PX200.

Not sure what your price limit is but I just got The V-Moda M-80's for a friend  and she absolutely loved them.  Here's Tyll's article on them.

Did you take a look at the ATH-FC700A already? They are among the lightest pairs of headphones I have in the house. With proper EQ, I think they are among the best headphones I have heard under $50.

The JVC Flats HAS160 is great for under $15. If she wants a warmer sound with more bass and more detail, look at the $34(Amazon) JVC HAS650. It is also closed, but isolates better than the HAS160. The HAS650 is also very comfortable and very efficient.
