Another "What Headphones?" Thread

[_Spanky_]

First off I want to thank everyone that helped in my last thread. This one is going to be somewhat different since I cannot make my mind up

Here is what I want:
A Closed-Style Headphone
Impedance no higher than 90ohm (For iPod use)
Good bass + good sound reproduction
Something durable and proven
Replaceable components aren't a must but a very nice addition

Here is what I will use it for:
320kbps MP3's + Movies on my RockBox'd iPod 4G Photo
Misc. things on my home computer like games, movies and music.

Budget:
I could do $80 easily and with hopes and selling a few things I could do $200 max. I feel real comfortable with $150.

What I am eyeballing:
Low-end:
Sony MDR-V6 - I love the fact that they are rated well and that they are Sony + people use the same pair for years and years.
Grado SR-60 - They seem to be rated well around here and I AM open to trying something new even though these are open.
Higher end:
Beyerdynamic DT 250-80 - They look soooo comfortable and I like the replaceable parts. Honestly, if I had the money right now I don't think I would have a problem buying these.
Sony MDR-V7509HD - These are on the high end of my budget and probably the best I could get from Sony.

About Me:
I like music. ACDC to be exact. I like hearing and feeling the drums and bass. I want to get goosebumps while playing a game or watching a movie just from the sound alone. Currently I am using the Sony S2 MDR-G57 so that is the sound quality I am used to, I would like to get better sound than they provide. I am a big Sony fan but Sony is not a must.

With this information and your knowledge about headphones I hope I get some good responses back.

*EDIT*
OH and there are no stores around me that even carry these, let alone let me test them. So I cannot "try" before buying. I am putting my money in your hands.

sony v6 don't give me goosebumps

but the beyer dt770 still amaze me

I looked them up and they have super-high ohms. I did find the DT-770M had a 80ohm. I don't think it will be in my budget.

Update:
I think I am going to get a pair of Beyerdynamics. Would it be wise to spend some more money to get the DT 770M or should I just stick with the DT 250-80? I think that the 770 Pro is a bit outside of my budget range. Any thoughts?

Grado SR60. I just received my SR225's and they destroy any other headphone I have for rock which includes ACDC.

Ultrasone Proline 2500, you can find 2 used pairs here and here, or Proline 650 here

Don't get the "M" version of the DT770, that is a crappy sounding isolation monster for drummer playback. I bet the DT250 groovelizer will be a good choice.

dt 770/80 pros can be found on that auction site for around 150 fairly often ... thats where i got mine months ago

If I have to spend some more money, I would rather buy them from a store that I can send them back to. I'm pretty much set on buying them from BH Photo Video. I just wasn't sure if the "M" version was worth it or not.

Depending on money I will either get the 250's or the 770's. They will be 80ohm. Unless someone has something negative to say about the Beyerdynamic series.

 

[fuzydice]

sr60 all the way.

 

[Moocher]

In your price range, any Grado you can afford. Really, Grado. Love my SR 60s: guitar heaven.

Mooch

 

[afphreak]

x3 on the grados, but the SR-60's might leave you wanting more on the bass, SR-80s are probably a better choice, if not the SR-125s

 

[_Spanky_]

I'm really not wanting to get the open style grado's. Are the Beyer's a good substitute?

 

[g500tec]

x2 on the DT770s. They seem to have almost all of the qualities you're looking for.

Anyone know where I can get the DT 770 Pro, the 80ohm version? I'm hoping BH Photo Video will get them. I see them at GuitarCenter but they look a little pricy there.
