OK - I've decided to buy another set of cans as an alternative to the MDR-V700DJ when outside. Recommendations please?
* I listen mostly in buses and trains. Read: High ambient noise in the mid and low frequencies. Good noise isolaion is a must.
* When on the move, I listen to mostly guitar thrash music - punk, nu-metal, etc., and 'electronica' - at high volumes. Yes it's a bit boomy but I actually like the V700DJ for this. But I do occasionally listen to other music. This is where the second pair of 'outside' headphones would come in. So a totally different character with more accuracy is what I'm looking for.
* It's imperative that a) I can listen to the music and b) others can't.
* The phones must be incredibly easy to drive - 5mw+5mw is all they have to work with.
* It must also look extremely cool. In terms of colour, black alone is out.
Any suggestions? Thanks. Oh price: under $150 - I'll be buying in the UK.
