hello!
i'm looking to get some beyers to use with my portable set-up. my sources will be one of the following:
sony mz-n10, sharp dr7, or rio karma -> portaphile v2 -> shure e3 or beyer (yet to be purchased)
i need some help deciding on which beyers to get. i'm looking in the sub-$200 range. so far i'm considering the dt440 on headroom, and the dt660, 770, 831, & 931 on b&h. if the price were right, i'd also thow in the dt860 or 880, as well.
i listen to idm (autechre, boards of canada, etc), jazz (miles, coltrane, etc), prog-rock (sigur ros, radiohead, godspeed you! black emperor, etc), and modern composition (john cage, philip glass, steve reich, etc).
suggestions on which beyers to get? i'll be using them sitting down at my desk at work - not walking around. when i work in the lab, i'll be working in a laminar flow hood (for those not familiar with it, it's a bit noisy) and might appreciate a bit of isolation. oto, i do have the shure e3 for isolation in the hood already.
and finally, the dt770 come in 80ohm and 250ohm. which would be better for my set-up, if i chose to go that route? the 250ohm version is ~$25 cheaper.
thanks!

oh yeah...what exactly is the 120ohm adaptor for Beyer headphones? I see it referenced alot but don't see it at Headroom or Meier anywhere. Help?
