Hi

I have a pair of CAL! and I am happy with them but when I go outside with them due to their low isolation they arent all that.

I have done some research on what I should get as an upgrade and have settled with these:

 
  1. Ultrasone HFI580                 £125
  2. ATH-PRO700MK2                 £125 (from Hong Kong)
  3. Beyer DT770 PRO (80OHM)    £130
  4. Shure SRH840                     £125
  5. Audio Technica ATH-M50      £130
 
I am looking for heaphones that have:
 
 
  1. Very good isolation so when used outside do not sound terrible
  2. Good for outside use, as in not too heavy or bulky and are built strong
  3. BASS!! (lots of it, but not stupid amounts, I dont want to be in a boy racers pimped out Ford Corsa..), good mids and decent highs.

I listen to Drum n Bass, Dubstep, Hip Hop/Rap, Trance and some rock/metal
I am not going to be using an amp, they will be powered from my phone (Samsung Galaxy S1, has a Wolfson WM8994 sound chip)

Out of the listed headphones, what do you guys think would be best? Also, if you think I should try out different headphones feel free to tell me


Thanks Roughavoc
