    headphones with ear cups like the Senn HD 558 / 598?

    please help me decide between these?

    did a lot of research, it came down between these few...   1. Etymotic HF5 Best isolation, but I'm a bit worried about getting used to the deep insertion style on this, is it possible to get good seal without a deep insertion?   2. Brainwavz M2 cheaper alternative    3...
