OK so my priorities are -comfort -durability -sound: deep well detailed bass large soundstage flatish eq Im going to use these around the house so Im leaning towards circumaurual. Ive had vmoda m80s, sennheiser hd228s, and Creative aurvanna lives. The CALs were the closest to what I want...

Mine weren't and even if they are, open a claim in ebay and you can get a refund.

So my problem with beats by dre was that they were overpriced and taking advantage of a market of ignorant people looking for better sound quality. However looking on ebay and craigslist you can get beats way, way cheaper than retail value. The most expensive beats pros at 400$ you can find used...

I want a circumaurul for at home. I have meelectronic ht21 as my main pair now. Great pair of cheap portables. I switched out the earpads. I use headphones with my iPod touch and normal size music(Idk bits). I listen to all or most genres: classical, rap/hip hop, electronic, ethereal,symphony...

Sorry I didnt mean to post the same thing like 6 times but I was a "junior headfier" and couldn't change my profile and it was really annoying me. So now I have my own picture cause I did ten post. Stupid rule.

The last concern would be the comfort of the pads. The pads are decent but not soft enough for my preference. I just can from the hd228s and those were clouds on my ears

Oh and also these have like no isolation literally it all leaked out when I performed tests at full volume.

The only real problem with these I have is the smallest setting is too big for my little head. I'm 18 and I can't put them straight down or they don't sit properly.

Was thinking about getting the meelectronics sports earbuds for around 30$. I've always had a comfort/ staying in problem with the in ear buds. These headphones a good idea?

The hd228s sound closed in, the signature is awful. I'm assuming the hd238s have the same problem. Oh and there is no soundstage.

Just go on eBay to buy some broken beats.

First off the price range. I got my hd228s for 45$ new on ebay but prices vary and the msrp is 120$. The ht21s I got on ebay as well for 25$(both these prices include shipping).   Sennheiser hd228- These headphones were my first Hifi set, before that I loved my skullcandy lowriders. These...

For some reason my friend really wants beats. My alternative list for him currently would be crossfade m80 and the sennheiser hd25. Or if for almost no money he could get the me electronics ht21. That's what I have. He doesn't have a credit card so if you could think of a good option at best buy...

creative aurvanna live. very comfortable, amazing sound clarity and soundstage with a slightly warm tilt. These are 60$ free shipping on amazon msrp at 100$. check out headfi 105 ortable headphone shootout.

Have you checked out the headfi's 105 headphone shoot out? If you haven't you should. For 200 dollars it was a sennheiser headphone that had the best rating.
