I'm a head-fi member from a ways back looking to get back in on a gift-based budget - my college student wallet is not up to becoming a regular member again. I'm looking for the best set of <$75 closed cans with a decent amount of isolation I can find.
Tastes: I had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 pro-250's that I loved, but the drivers gradually wore down. I had a pair of modded allessandro MS-1's that were pretty nice[a touch harsh on the highs]. My source is usually a noisy computer, which detracted from them, but I used them until I wore out the cord/plug.
My music varies from Manson to Fiona Apple to Tricky to Barenaked Ladies to Ninjatunes to Dylan to Bach.
My girlfriend is bugging me for what gift she should give me, and I have no ideas other than getting my hands on some decent headphones again. I've been using Klipsch promedia and now Sony floorstanding speakers(which I'm mostly satisfied with) for a while, but they just don't have the noisefloor{because of the computer} for classical. For general listening, they're also a bit hard to crank up in a four person household. And of course I dug up my mp3 player recently, which hasn't seen use since the Grados went downhill.
