Thanks for your response. I know that my 'meh' response to the Amperior isn't so usual. I seem to not hear the magic that others do!   A friend has the AKG k240. Very nice, but bleeds sound into the mikes, so wouldn't do for one of my uses. I am on the lookout for a used pair of Senn HD600...

This is my first post after much lurking and searching. Thanks for such a great community.    I'm looking for headphones for a dual purpose: closed cans that isolate well enough to be used for monitoring at-home vocal recording and a bit of sound editing, as well as being used on-the-go with...
