I'm looking for some closed back headphones to use with my macbook / ipod (some). I'm new to really high end headphones still, but just for reference, I bought Monster Beats a long time ago, and returned them after a week, now I have Monster Turbines (in ear), and I want to break into the hi-fi headphones. I had been looking at the AKG K272 HD, but after reading a few reviews, it sounds like I may want a little bit more bass power than those will give me. If I'm being ignorant, please let me know. Someone on here had mentioned the Ultrasone HFI 580s which looked pretty good, but the CNET review said you probably shouldn't run it with just an iPod... I'm fine with getting a headphone amp if I need to though. I want headphones that sound good with rock. I listen to jazz, and vocal music from time to time, but definitely mostly rock and electronica. Any recommendations? (closed back is a necessity sadly
