Quote: Sounds portableish....    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ULAP4U/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A23M3KL3V61UGY   that's the pair i'm looking at.. looks like straight cable..  i'm just so overwhelmed haha i have 300 dollars to amazon so iw as thinking maybe some over...

Quote: I like where this is going.. alternatives please? 

also needs to be UNAMPED!   show some love guys!

Requirements: Sound isolation, minimal leakage, light on the head, neutral sound for all types of music (but mainly hip hop and rock)...   Thanks guys..   I like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50S but not sure if they are the best portable.. =/    Help please!

Okay... At this point I really like the  Ultrasone HFI-580   and the   Audio-Technica ATH-M50S     I seem to like the 580 better just because of the size factor... what do you guys think? Any other comparable options I should consider? 

Oh damn! Those are awesome! Good price...      ATH-M50S    Other fans?!  (Wait! I'm gonna go search these on here!)

And yes, you guys are right, I need to do more research.. I have a 300 dollar gift card to amazon so and I want these for a trip that is about a month away.. so yes, i should probably relax and do a little more research. but the more research i do, the more frustrated i get. i mean... before i...

I AM TRYING! I just get so distracted on some thread about this pair of cans and then a different one.. haha I know this is frustrating but I appreciate you all bearing with me. 

Great replies. Thanks so much for the help guys.. .I am doing more research.. and I've heard some pretty good things about the DT 880... lots of people have these it seems but they aren't their "portable" cans in their signature... can they be portable? 

Headphone sound signatures? Where's that... 

I really have no idea what I'm getting myself into...    I like hip-hop. I like rock. I like piano. Some decent head phones that someone who has listened to ipod headphones for his whole life will appreciate...

Do you think they need an amp?? 

Meaning you agree?   Anyone else? Please guys!

I want this set up...   http://www.amazon.com/Ultrasone-PRO-750-Professional-Headphones/dp/B000Y556M8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1301031130&sr=8-1   Those with that little 20 dollar amp if you guys think it's necessary... sounds like it's something I really should consider...

Too much research is making this decision really hard. I just want my songs to sound good on a really good pair of headphones without having to mess with amps and other chords and things. I also want it to cancel noise well and not leak sound...   Can you guys just throw some good options? ...

how do the 750's compare to the 900s?

Okay - I'm a noob.. I had no idea you got amp head phones. But, I love music and I love car audio. I'm a huge audiophile but I need my headphones to be portable. I need to hear on the airplane to and from Seattle (where I will attend college next year), in the bus, on the train. I have searched...
