Hi everyone
I'm looking for some recommendations for a good set of headphones that offer decent bass and excellent isolation (in that order). I often have to spend many hours in the computer labs at university, which tend to be very noisy. I prefer to work in isolation, listening to music either from the CDROM or from minidisc. Now, I know minidisc is crap quality etc etc but it's all I have. Currently I have Senn 280 Pro's (the 75 ohm version) which are fantastic for classical music and sound pretty reasonable for most other things. But I'm also a rock and electronica fan, and I really miss the bass! The 280's have woeful bass. I'm not looking for headshaking, brain mashing bass, just something with more impact than what I've currently got. Size isn't really a concern - I already carry the 280's to uni and they're not exactly compact - but isolation is. So we're probably looking at closed headphones here. From reading the forums I've come up with the Beyer 770's or 880's as possible choices, but I'm sure there must be others? Not having easy access to demoing headphones, I thought I'd ask all you knowledgeable folk to lend a hand
