Hi guys, long time lurker but this is my first post. I have a trip to China coming up soon, and I need a pair of cans to make it through an entire day of air travel. Comfort and isolation are important, and I don't like exaggerated bass. I love the Grado sound signature but realize I won't find that in a pair of closed headphones. IEM's hurt my ears during plane travel, so looks like I'm limited to closed headphones.
I'd need something with clear mids and highs for movie dialog; and I listen to a bit of jazz, blues, and rock. I'm willing to compromise bass for the aforementioned, but I would prefer a modest amount of punchy bass. I'll likely buy a portable headphone amp in the near future too.
Currently own:
Brainwavz M2 IEMs
Alessandro Grado MS1i's with bumblebee pads
Monoprice 8323 (bass gives me a headache after a few hours)
