Hmm, maybe I can come here for help. I've had some bad luck with my headphones lately. My first decent set of cans, the SRH440's, got left in a rental car, never to be seen again. I loved them.   My next set, HD595's were comfy, but leaked so much sound both in and out, that I couldn't...

Hey all, I'm picking up a last minute gift for my dad. He's a jogger and I just got him an ipod. He'd like some new headphones for jogging. He prefers the "streetback" style, something like the Senny PMX60 (but with better reviews). Sound quality is not the #1 priority, I'd prefer them to be...

Thanks for the input everyone! I'm pretty sure on the SRH440's and probably going to put in an order tonight. I still have my PX-100's for travel w/ my ipod, I don't think I'll take the Shure's out of the office. I appreciate your suggestions!

I'm really starting to lean towards the SRH440's because of their robustness, the $85 pricetag, and the all around sound it provides. Can anyone talk me out of these? Edit: Also, and I feel like a complete noob for asking this, but my Logitec Z-2300 speakers have a volume control that...

Thanks again for all the suggestions everyone! I'm sitting in my office right now, with my buddy sleeping on the couch behind me. Holy crap does he snore. I am feeling increasing urgency to decide on some cans, so I can block out the thunder six feet behind me. Luckily I found my PX-100's...

Any opinions on Shure vs. Denon vs. Sennheiser in terms of durability? I seem to pick up that Shures are rock solid, is this a general consensus?

I appreciate the feedback guys! Looks like I'm definitely more interested in closed headphones. I'll drop the Alessandro/Grados, How about the RX900? read some decent reviews on them; would they compare to the Senny's or D1001's? I'll also take a look at some Shure's, as I haven't done much...

Hello everyone, First, I 'd like to say I apologize for making my own "Whats the best headphones I can get for $x" thread; I've done some research and want to get some opinions before I buy. I am a relative audio noob; my brother just broke my (albeit free) creative fatal1ty headset, so...
