Hi everyone,

 

Could definitely use some help with suggestions, here's what I'm looking for:

 

  • Closed headphone for work that isolates well and doesn't leak sound
  • Prefer over ear for comfort reasons, and will need something I can wear for extended periods of time
  • Will be plugging into a Macbook Pro, but also have a 4th gen iPod/homemade CMOY combo that I use
  • Don't want anything too bassy
  • Listen to alternative, (classic) rock, acoustic
  • $200 or less (and am in Canada)

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

There should be an influx of used AKG K550 on the market with the release of the K551 looming.
200 bucks should be easy for a like new pair.

The K550 was definitely on my radar, but the company will be buying these for me so probably need to purchase from an actual store (b&m or reputable online).
