Thanks for the info, I do listen almost exclusively to metal and rock, but a softer kind so I think I'll go for the Sennheiser Momentum, as they seem pretty good.

Well the Sennheiser HD25-I-II's and Amperiors are on ears, and I was generally under the impression that on ear headphones are significantly less comfortable and have a lower sound quality. Also are the Vmoda M100's any good?

Hi, I'm new to the world of headphones, as I primarily use iems. But I feel it is time to venture beyond my good ol westone um3x.   My budget is around $300. I listen mostly to metal and rock music, and use my ipod or computer to play my music. I haven't got an amp, but I am open to...

Yo new to hi fi, and looking for suggestions regarding what iem to buy. Have been using the Shure Se215, an really liked it, however they broke, and i felt a change was needed.   My budget is around $200, and I primarily listen to various sorts of metal and rock music. Any suggestions would...

soz i mean over ear that is slightly smaller than your massive cans, that don't sacrifice sound q

THanks for your comments. My main issue tho with most of the suggestions is that their comfort isn't all that great. if possible are there any smaller on ear headphones with great sound quality. Cause if not i mite stretch my budget a bit and get the ultrasone with the amps.

aarrrggghh another seemingly good suggestion, are the  ultrasone pro 900 better than the ESW9A, because i am a bit worried about the comfort of the ESW9A. However  is the ultrasone pro 9000 still any good without the amplifier.

Alritey its about time i made my decision, but before that just one last set of questions. thanks in advance for all your helpful tips. Are on ear headphones significantly less comfortable than over ear headphones?  And are there any headphones that are remotely portable that have a better...

oooh sounds good. Thanks heaps.

In that case can anyone give me info on the ESW9A. It seems it isn't as well known as other headphones.

Hmm, did some investigations and the denons are huge, bigger than i though. So which portable headphones are the best? And are the  AudioTechnica ESW9A soundwise better than the Bower and Wilkins P5? any help would be much appreciated as i wam utterly hopeless when it comes to choosing headphones.

Hmm, i've heard a bit about the AudioTechnica ESW9A and they seem good. Soundwise are they better than the denon's?    

Hi, I'm new to the forums, so excuse me if i do something totally wrong. Anyways i usually use earbuds but I wanna try headphones.   However I am kinda stuck. I hear the Denon Ahd 2000 has great sound quality, but they are MASSIVE. I will normally use my headpones in public and on my ipod...
