The sennheiser hd25s isolate very well and are low profile. They're also lightweight and durable for years of use. Otherwise maybe look at some IEMs.

Hi I recently bought one a Z-1000 and was really happy with my purchase.  Recently though there has been a constant creaking noise that has become very annoying.  I know the solution is probably obvious but what do I do to stop the creaking?  They're pretty expensive for me and I don't want to...

I haven't owned the AKGs yet but I think the Denons are quite comfortable. Big cups just like the 701s and has little clamping force.

Got the Denons for $148 in "Very good" condition :).  Thanks guys.

The HD25s and amperiors are really good at blocking out outside noise.  Don't know if you want those if you want to hear your surroundings. I've never heard the m-80s but I've read that it lets more noise in than the Sennheisers with good sound quality.

Thanks guys.  I was really considering either the Beyerdynamic DT1350 or the m80s since they seem very easy to lug around :).  Also, thanks for the offer Roma I'll take a look at that headphone.

Hi, I am new to Headfi and am looking around for a new headphone.  The only headphones I've had other than the apple stock earbuds were the grado sr60i.  These don't really suite me because I normally use my headphones while walking around my campus and I'm rarely in my home.  I am looking for a...
