Closed cans w/ the tightest bass for bass practicing < $399 ?

''Their noise-blocking seal is also not quite as thorough compared to other closed-earcup Ultrasones and allows external noise in fairly easily.''

Dunno if they really let outside noises easily in. Everything is crearly muffled and downtuned. There are better isolating cans, thats for sure. But if you are using open cans ATM, the amount of isolation you gain will be a LOT. But if you really have loud noises near you, like band members practising, you should get IEMs. They perhaps wont give you bass punch and such, but they will give you all the details you want, even bass details, not to mention suberp isolation. IEMs were originally designed for studio and onstage stuff afterall.

Through relatives. How do they compare to the K81DJ that you own? That chart you posted is good too.

Completely off-topic, but nothing pleases me more than being able to hear the bass track clearly in a recording as if it were the lead guitar.

Proline 650 isolates noticeably better than K81DJ (foam pads off, bluetack modded).

Bumping an old thread!

My main criterias are :

1. Tightest neutral bass at least down to 25-30Hz and decent mids.
2. Comfortable for long time studio monitoring.
3. Built like a tank.
4. Must be easily driven so low impedance is needed.
5. Replaceable parts would be a big plus.

The K702 are great for studio use, as well the HD-800 can go well around 30Hz.
Both hps you'll need a good sound card and/or a good SS amp.

Read title next time please, thank you. They are both semi-closed, right ?!

I've found out about the GMP 8.35 D, I think I'll go with them.

Yes, the 8.35 and the M-50 will do the job, the 8.35 are more comfy. Here is more info: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/ger...indeed-406658/ If you only monitor the bass, close will be the best option, if you mix the open will do better.
