    Best isolating closed cans for around 500 usd

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for a pair of closed cans tha can isolate the most (passively) with the least compromise of sound quality. Atm I own an LCD-2 closed back, and while they sound great, they don't have the isolation I currently need. Reading around I've come across a few...

    ISOLATION: TH-X00 variants vs E-MU Teaks vs Beyer DT177X

    I am looking to purchase my next set of closed cans, these candidates seem to fit the overall experience I might be seeking, but I am just worried none of them might offer adequate isolation, would anyone be kind enough to shed some personal experiences regarding them? Thanks and best regards.

    Something similar to Nightowls but with better 1.2 khz to 10 khz response

    Looking to upgrade from my Audioquest Nightowls, cans with superb sound and sublime soundstage, but that factually suffer in the upper midrange (?) to lower treble regions. Recently I tried the Ultrasone Signature Studio, but man, they were super harsh to my ears. I am returning them as I type...

    Closed back, neutral, large soundstage

    Heya, I want to try something more dense than my current SRH1540, something with better isolation, sub bass extension and low distortion. My current DAC is the Opus#11 (awesome dac for the size). Budget is around 500-ish USD, could go a little higher if it's really worth it. Thanks in advance! :)

    Cans with better soundstage than ATH-A900x

    I've had these cans for quite a few years for now, and they are one of the best I've had, because they fit what an ideal pair of headphones are for me: Closed, relatively flat response, and great soundstage that even proves to be competitive in FPS/general gaming.   But i've been thinking of...

    Looking for closed cans with bigger soundstage than the ATH-A900X

    I kinda wanna upgrade a bit (I.E., <500usd) from said headphones, so I'd like to know what else is out there, mainly for gaming and musical composition. I don't like open cans because they suck at isolation. Neutral signature is a plus too. I've done some reading, and the shure 940s and the...

    Can a decent Soundcard make closed cans suitable for competitive gaming?

    Assuming the headphones have already good soundstage, like the AKG k550, ATH-A900X, SRH-940.   The main reason I want closed and not open is because I need the isolation, due to really noisy pc fans and A/C in the midst of summer.

    Closed. Flat response. Soundstage. Does something like that exists?

    Well, as title suggest, I'm looking for the holy (affordable) grail of headphones. Current cans are HD280 pro, yes, you can laugh at me, these are my first "real" headphones, I've had them over 2 years now. Now please don't suggest something like the Senns HD800, because I'm still just a...

    Sony MDR-7506 vs MDRZX700; so similar in price/acclaim, that i just can't decide.

    Going to upgrade from my senns to some sony cans, because i've felt lately that my senns have the attitude of a frozen stone. I've chosen Sony as the next brand, because of its availabilty. So anyways, any of you guys had the chance to try both of them headphones? I feel like i'm comparing an...
