I've been using Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pros at work for a few years now. I've been mostly happy with them, but I've always been conscious that there are better sounding headphones out there (especially after getting some Denon D7000s for home listening
).
The thing is, the DT-770s are great for work because I can have them at what (to me) sounds like near-concert hall levels, yet when I take them off, I can't hear so much as the hiss of a hi-hat coming from them. So, I know that I'm not bothering my co-workers.
Thus, I'm looking for some phones with better sound quality than the DT-770s, but the same lack of sound leakage.
I want headphones I can easily return if I don't like them, so nothing that's out of production, can only be special ordered, or requires modding to sound its best.
I'd be willing to spend $1,500 or so if something like Ultrasone Edition 8s are the answer, but I'd obviously prefer to spend less.
