Its not easy deciding what to get when it comes to headphones. :\

That was very helpful Gallaine thanks.

I stated in my first post that they need to be sealed but I am flexible on the subject.

No these will be for home use.

Thanks for the info so far guys. Anyone have the V700’s and any of the ones in my list for comparison purposes?

They are very uncomfortable headphones and after about an hour my ears are in agony so now I am looking for something better. I really have nothing to judge them against so they sound ok to me but from what I have seen here they are a rather poor set of phones so I need help on choosing another...
