The D2000s have pretty strong leakage... so if you're going for closed to avoid that then I'd stay away

How about the Ultrasone Closed PROline 750s? These look pretty cool, and they are circumaural. Can anyone tell me about these?

I have not heard the Proline 750 but I can definitely recommend the Ultrasone HFI-780.

Ultrasone are closed headphones that sound open, A big plus...

X3.

DT150 is above and beyond HD6x0 to certain extend. You can get a brand new pair for less that $200. Fantastic cans!

Above and beyond is rather theatrical don't you think?
What makes you say that?
What is it the DT150 do better?

much more neutral / less coloration, better bass control, better high extension.

Well i just got my hd-25 1s today and i have to say that i love them. The other closed can i have are the dt 250-80s and these beat them hands down + there'yre small and light enough to use as portable cans. And they isolate brilliantly. So best pair of closed cans = sennheisser hd25-1 ii.

DT770 Pros are righteous for metal. They'll grab you by the head and shake you like an unloved child. Some might complain about the bass being too pronounced, but I've found that: 1) it tightens up nicely with amplification, while still retaining that glorious depth, and 2) it gives infernal life to detuned metal bass lines. You won't have to worry about missing low-frequency detail.

They're also great for electronic styles and decent for rock. Classical with these cans is something of an acquired taste -- they're pretty mid-scooped.

Can't complain about the isolation, though. Mine are my constant air-travel companions.

Vote for DT150's - especially for kinds of music you're listening.
I'm curious about Ultrasone proline 750. They look nice but I haven't heard them yet.
For me DT150 are optimal as closed headphones.

If you have money to burn then L3000 would be the best closed headphones.

 

[phandrew]

How does the DT48 compare to that of DT150?

 

[YtseJamer]

For metal music, I suggest the Ultrasone HFI-780.
