I may have to look into these ultrasones. Thanks for all the replies, sorry that I am just now replying. Isolation is a pretty big factor for me, so so far it's between the hd25 and the ultrasone. Anythang else i should be paying close attention to?

What an exciting drawing. Glad I have/had the opportunity to participate

I don't like adding junk to boards because people ask stuff like this every day...but my set of criteria are semi-unique at least. My rig is in my signature...I love the way it sounds for everything but the extreme ends of rock (metal, grindcore, etc). Also, sometimes people come in my room...

Audio-Technica a900. No experience with them personally, but they would be worth checking out based on your criteria.

I can understand settling on the HD580/600. With my system, the 650 sounds like the 600 on steroids, so that's my resting point after trying many a can

Another happy Gilmore Lite + HD650 user here. If I do get the upgrade bug, I'll probably just buy the DPS for my GLite
