Alright, I'm looking for options of the best sounding headphones under $250 that will play well unamped (that's all I'll be using them for) out of a Creative Zen Micro 6MB that I'll be getting sson.

I need some sound isolation as I will be using these on airlines once in a while but my main concern is excellent sound quality...neutral, excellent midrange, imaging, soundstaging, holographic...

Look forward to hearing everyone's recommendations!

Doug

Actually, he probably meant holophonic.
