I would like to know too.

Care adding Sony CD780s to that list?

↑

So there are no difference between A500 and A900 comfort-wise?

Quote: Originally posted by some1x If the CD780 felt warm to you, then you should look at getting open-air headphones (i.e. not A500/900). Aww man. The quest for the perfect cans continues yet again.

I have the CD780, and I think that the comfort is overrated here. Sure, they feel like pillows when you put then on, but after a while, the lower headband kind of pinches the sides of my head, and my ears gets *really* warm. They are also heavy as hell! There is also something missing in the...

I *did* post in the correct forum? Bump

I can't seem to find anything in Sony's website? I'd be pissed if there aren't any available elsewhere.

Soundstage.. check. Isolation... hmm.. I was thinking the buds would at least provide more isolation than the KSC-35.. well doesn't anything else would provide better isolation than that?

I have considered HD280s.. but aren't they hard to drive without an amp?

For once, I think, I have stumped head-fiers! w00t!

Come on! I'm open to suggestions!

More more more! Edit and bump.

After reading through like 50 pages of threads, I've come to the conclusion that you guys will probably suggest the V6/7506 or Eggos based on my suggestions above. Some points of reference: I like the way my KSC35 sounds off the iPod, but the problem is that it leaks. Comfort is just...

Ah yes... I forgot to mention that they leak tons.. Well I did expect them to leak, but wow.. it does REALLY leak like there's no tomorrow!

.. but I wasn't blown away by the sound as expected And all I got for wearing it are two sore ears. I think I'll just trade this for some ultra comfy Sony MDR-CD780s since my ears probably can't tell apart a dog's bark from a cat's meow Oh wellllll. Would this be wise?

How much would the SR60 be, if it is still available?

bump for more input

From what I've gathered, isn't it only that the older SR80's (pre 1998?) are uncomfortable? If the comfort isn't much different, I wouldn't mind spending more for the SR80.

Keep em' coming! Is the MDR-V6 still worth buying? If yes, where do I find them? I am not a really big fan of Sony.. but if it's good stuff I will buy it Edit: How much does the SR60/SR80 really leak sound (if possible, compared to the HD497)? If it's not much, it would really make my...

Quote: Originally posted by UberNewb The Grados will leak sound too... The SR-80s need an amp to sound better than the SR-60s from what I understand. That's why I'm asking for more recommendations because those 2 don't really fit the bill
