Looking to spend 500 or less on a good set of headphones that I can walk outside with and use in my office. I like a wide, warm soundstage, lower mids pronounced and the highs not to sharp.

Hoping the price would include dap + headphones and I could buy new or used!

Get a Sony NW-A37HN DAP here (RAZORDOG100 coupon at checkout for $100 off):

Then get a Rock It Sounds R-Shield for the ultimate in isolation here:

Should be $368 total, provided you put in that coupon for $100 off. Save cash for a better closed-back over-ear when you know more precisely what sound and comfort combo you want.
