Just got my HM5 in today - they fit the bill perfectly! Thanks again :)

  Quote: After more reading, I'm going with the HM-5 - looks like they fit the bill at a great price point. Thanks for the input everyone!

What do you guys think about the KRK KNS 8400? I like the price and reviews make them sound pretty neutral.

Quote: I'd say $150-$300. I'm ok with getting closer to that $300 if it's going to make a huge difference, but cheaper is always better.  

Quote: Thank you - the K550 was one of the pairs I was looking for. I can see how you'd think the HD595 was boring - they are, but boring in a way that I really enjoy and can listen to for hours. I love my Grados but they're a bit more of a workout.

Bump. 

Hello all,        Just getting back into the Head-Fi game after a few-year hiatus. When I left off, my favorite set of headphones was the Sennheiser HD 595. I'm looking for a closed set for some isolation, but I'd like something that sounds similar to the HD 595 - accurate, good soundstage...

I am only posting this in the Headphone forum because I believe it is the closest thing to being a "general" forum. I believe everyone should see this. Recently, Monster Cable sent claims of IP infringement to Blue Jeans Cable. Little did they know that the President of BJC has a good amount...

As much as I hate to put a thread up like this, I absolutely love Head-Fi's music forums for introducing me to The National. Where would you guys suggest to go after them? Thanks much, Mr00000

Legalsounds.com = another shady Russian site (like AllofMP3). I love em. 9c a song. PM me so I can send you a referall and get some free songs :P

Another vote for iGrados Seriously, I think they're among the best bang for the buck headphones one can get. They are exactly what I would suggest to someone looking to experience audiophile sound but not wanting to spend a ton of cash. Also, depending on what you want, there are a few...

Damn double posting

Also, while you're at it, check out Damien Rice

Hmm, its tough to say that they're "like" Coldplay but they're compatable - check out The Shins and Interpol. Both are very different bands but I think you'll like em.

Ooh those ATH-A900s look quite nice. How is the isolation on them? Best price I've been able to find (non-ebay) is $220 at AudioCubes. Is that about right?
