I would recommend Sennheiser HD 25-1 II

so this is the wide sound stage + good bass closed headphones that I am looking for?

You can try some of the Ultrasone models, as well for more natural sounds and more comfy, and good isolation, I'll recommend the GMP 8.35 D Monitor.

yiiiikes!! $250 is a bit out of my price range although thanks!

which of the ultrasones have the best impact and then a wide soundstage vs. the RX900?

I'm not sure I can go that far, as I've only had the DT 770 PRO/250 for a few days now. In fact, they do have good bass and a decent soundstage for a closed headphone. But they are a little glaring right now. I hope this will improve with time. I just think you ought to put them under consideration is all I was suggesting.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that all of these headphones in consideration are a step up from what I got right now. I want to hear a Beyer, AKG, Shure, Senn, I want them all!!!

Do yourself a favor and cross off the HD 280's from the list. They have almost no bass impact and there is no way I would wear those things out in public, they stick way out from the sides of your head, they look ridiculous. Oh yeah and they are terribly uncomfortable. Although I have not heard either of them, I have read great things about the HD 25 II's as well as the Dennon's, and either of them would probably suit your needs.

 

[mikeloxlong]

ahh, thanks for the entry.

I'm really getting excited about those HD 25s

Are there more that I am overlooking? Perhaps the RP-21?

 

[kunalraiker]

Don't worry very much of the overlooking

the HD 25-1 II are an excellent pair of headphones, there is one in the FS section right now.

Grab it before its gone.

Gonna have to mirror Derek's opinion on the HD280. MAD uncomfortable, and I found that the lacked any kind of impact at all. It's like wearing a boring vise on your head.

I brought the wife's over the ear noise cancelling headphones to work today and it's only been an hour and it's getting a bit uncomfortable. Unfortunately, this isn't going to work although I am still curious regarding the sound quality.

They sound great. Those ones in the FS were mine. I only got rid of them to help finance some higher end phones.
Can't go wrong with the HD25 I II.

 

[mikeloxlong]

thank you! can you describe the sound stage in terms of depth and width along with the bass impact?

also, I'm considering the DT 770 or 880. I understand the closed 770s and the semi open 880s have the same driver? It's just the back that's different? Is that really the case? Also being very much a noobie, why is it such a big deal to pay attention to the 80, 250, 600 Ohm versions? Bigger impedance obviously means harder to drive but I have a Mini3 which probably means it probably can't drive the 600 Ohm properly so it's either 80 or 250? Does having the 250 make bass better?

Along the same lines, people mod their 880s with electrical tape? what gives? If it's the same driver, why not just get the 770 in the first place?
