Hehe... no worries    Getting a new pair of headphones is just as much about deselection as selection. 

I enjoy tons of different music; mostly jazz, but also electronic music and soundtracks (classical).   Over time the headphones I've enjoyed most were ones with a strong(er) bass - but not overdone like the Beats.

I've heard a lot of good things about the KEF M500, but I've never enjoyed on-ear headphones for more than an hour or so.  That's just my personal taste :)

  Thanks, noted - but I was looking for if anyone had tried both of them (The Momentum and the MDR-1R) and could compare the isolation of them both.

  Never heard of the T70, but the isolation is very important for my use.   Any experience with either the MDR-1R or Momentum in connection with isolation?

  For longer listening sessions I always prefer over-the-ear headphones, but your recommendation is duly noted.

Thanks both for the recommendations, but I much prefer full over-the-ear headphones.

  In the 2013 Head-Fi Winter Gift Guide: http://www.head-fi.org/a/2013-head-fi-winter-gift-guide-wireless-headphones it's written that they are closed.   But I take your word for it :)

Hi all,   I'm looking for the best noise isolation headphone money can buy (Budget is about 400$ - but less is more than welcome).   They are for use at work, so they have to be comfortable to use for hours on end and they need be somewhat stylish as I sit in a gigantic open-office space...

Quick question: Are the wireless Sennheiser RS 220 headphones open or closed?   I'm asking because I've seen the mentioned as closed as many times as I've seen them mentioned as open.    And follow up questions; As I'm looking for closed wireless headphone and these are indeed open, what...

Quote:   I have the exact same problem. Although only when *no* music is playing then I get a low "humming" noise which is really annoying.   What brand of cable did you go for?

Let me first say that I'm no audiophile by a longshot, but I have the option of getting the new D600 at a reduced price (€400) at my local HiFi store as they have them on sale.   My current cans are a very old pair of Denon AH-D750 which I like very much. So much so that they have more or...

It was on sale at the Danish hifi store Hi-Fi Klubben: http://www.hifiklubben.dk/produkter/tilbehor/hovedtelefoner/denon_ah-d600_hovedtelefon.htm at dkr 3.000 which is aprox €400

Quote:   Thanks... people seem to like them.   But I still fell they might be overkill and that I should get one of these instead:   Ultrasone PRO 750 (€ 244) Audio Technica ATH-M50 (€ 145) AKG K550 (€ 196)   As they are much more within my actual budget range.

Quote:   ... and sorry about your wallet :)   I was secretly hoping that you would have said it would be overkill, so I could have bought a set of cans in the sub-$200 category 

Quote:     The low price in the Denon AH-D600 ends tomorrow so I have to decide before that. So any advice would be much appreciated.    Taking into consideration that I will be listening mostly to Spotify on my laptop through a FiiO E10, and then question is; would it be overkill...

Anyone have a recommendation for the above question? Thanks

I've owned a pair for about 15 years and they are by far my favorite pair

Quote:   Let me quickly answer you questions My budget is around $250 for the cans (prefer lower than that)  I don't currently have an amp, but is considering getting a FiiO e10 I will use them for listening to music from primaryly Spotify - set to the highest setting...

I have a (very) old pair of Denon AH-D750 that has been with me for years and years. And I love 'em... really love 'em   I've gotten so used to the sound of them that they have become my reference point that all other headphones must measure up against. But alas, nothing last forever and...
