My Harmon Kardon's are just not doing it for me, My first set was great until the headphone jack had issues and the replacement set from HK is not the same. Just sloppy. Out of warranty so lookin for low cost replacement. Pretty sure I will go with the Hammo or X10. Any thoughts on one over the...

Quote: OK. Don't ask me how, but I am going to decide between the Harman Kardon BT and the AKG K272HD. Criteria are comfort, isolation, sound, portability. Any chance someone has tried both of these?

Quote: Hope you all don;t think I'm hopeless. Just having trouble making a list that gets smaller and not larger. While at BestBuy I tried the lower price Harman Kardon on ear. I was really surprized by the isolation it offered, Anyone have any thoughts on the CL?

Quote: I did visit our BestBuy which had a limited number of phones to try on. The UE6000 they had seemed to have a broken button - you could not cycle it on/off. The light was on indicating it was on, but there was next to no noise reduction and the sound did not shine. I realize this was...

Quote: Thanks. That brings me down to : KRK KNS8400 NVX Audio XPT100 Shure HR440 Beyer Custom One Pro Sound magic HP100   Can anyone scratch any others based on criteria of comfort, isolation, sound and portability?

I've refined my requirements and am looking for input on the headphones below. For home and travel using mp3s and movies in flight. Priority is comfort, isolation, sound, portability. max $200, prefer to spend less. I'm now looking at: KRK KNS8400 NVX Audio XPT100 Senn HD-280 pro Shure...

Quote: And just for hahas, what about K271 MK II at much lower price point. Man, I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger....

Quote: STil debationg the HP100s vs teh Beyer DT770 or the Custom Pro. I just found a good price on CustomPro any thoughts on these compared to HP100s. PArticularly on noise isolation?

Quote: My bad. Just realized the HD25 was on ear vs over ear.   I'm thinking I will probably use a portable amp, I am now weighing the HP100 vs. the Beyerdynamic dt770 80 ohm (or possibly the custom one). How about a comparison of the hp100 and the dt770? Alternatively, the dt770 32ohm...

Quote: Very close to pulling the trigger on the HP100s when I saw the thread about the Sennheiser HD25 Amperior refurbs which fall into my price range. Can anyone provide a comparison of the two? Noise isolation and sound quality are key and portability will help as I travel a few times a...

Quote: wow. These were not even on my radar, but they look really interesting. Do these need an amp? 32 Ohms looks good but the sensitivity makes me wonder.

Looking for closed back, over ear, passive isolating headphones for home and travel. I take several long flights a year and need something comfortable with good isolation. Budget is 100-200. Priorities are comfort, isolation/sound (tied), and portability. I want something that sounds great at...
