Hi,

I'm trying to help my friend pick out headphones.
He listens to alt rock/electronic like MGMT, The Killers, Passion Pit and some classic rock like Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones.

He doesn't care a lot about isolation, and he wants balanced sound.

Thanks.

You can try some used hps on the FS Forum, like the K702/2 HD-600.

I'd say HD600s from the For Sale forums.
