What about the Denon AH-D2000's. Extremely comfortable, IMHO very good and non fatiguing sound. The only issue for you may be that they are not the strongest (of closed 'phones) for isolation. Well worth a look (errr.. listen) though.

 

[TStewart422]

The Denons aren't exactly neutral, either, which kind of hurts them for movies/games...

... as usual, I recommend my audio-technica ATH-M50s. They're pretty flat, have a good bass response, isolate well, are comfortable, and sound pretty good with movies. Also, with their low-impedance and high sensitivity, they can be easily driven with a laptop/portable device. Also, if it makes any difference to you, Headroom rates them higher than the Shures.

1. GMP 240/250.
2. GMP 8.35 D Monitor, with the newer pads.
3. K-271.

Audio Technica ES7 are flat, closed and sound darn good with all my music which is varied quite a bit. If you can afford the difference the ESW9 are even better and more comfortable.

Suggestions look promising.
It'll be hard do decide!

Sorry, but i only see 1 viable (new) suggestion ... TStewart422 recommended the ATH-M50 s (straight cord, but also available with coiled if that is what you prefer). A lot of info on the M50 can be found here in head-fi (just search) and also some telling comments in this thread:
Audio Technica ATH-M50 Headphones are AWESOME - Page 2 - Gearslutz.com

Just from pix alone, the ES series seems to be too shallow to be able to meet your requirement for comfort.

fwiw, personally, i would take a chance on the M50s. Ebay price ~90 - 100.

cheers,
d.

Yes, I dropped ES7/ESW9 along with GMP 240/GMP 250 just for that reason.


Ok, so the list seems like this atm:
Competition:
GMP 8.35 D Monitor, with the newer pads. need to see graphs...
ATH-M50 seems to be good all rounder, best bang for the buck?

Mixed reviews so far:
SRH840 need to see graphs...

Question marks:
DT 770 too bass heavy?
DT 880 more balanced than DT 770?
K-271 too light on bass, but good highs?

Some technical data:
=713&graphID[]=183&graphID[]=573&graphID[]=23]http://graphs.headphone.com/graphCom...aphID[]=23
By those graphs the K-271 and/or HD600 seems to be closest to natural?
Check the Figure 2.

I'll be checking prices and more technical data tomorrow, falling asleep here...

Here the GMP 8.35 D Monitor graph.

 

[neo-fi]

Thanks, got a question though

How to compare those GMP 8.35 D Monitor graphs to headroom's?

 

[oqvist]

If those charts was with the new pads it would look entirely different. At least it should since they kind of invert the balance between bass and treble lol. But I suppose they don´t take the head cups or driver placement into consideration just measure the drivers directly?

I preferr the GMP with the stock pads but certainly get the new pads for 10$ otherwise you will always wonder. Optimum for me was if they would have the Ultrasone solution for switching pads since I enjoy both presentations and it´s always nice with a change some times.

lol, maybe we should ask the company to do both graphs, just in case.

 

[neo-fi]

hehe, indeed.
But how do I compare the graphs, since the GMP ones start at 80dB. Or is there any difference?

 

[neo-fi]

New, updated list:
Competition:
GMP 8.35 D Monitor, with the newer pads.
GMP 8.300 D Professional added as new - Opinions? To me it seems like 8.35 D with higher impedance/sligtly different looks
ATH-M50
K-271 how does K-271 MkII differ
SRH840 still need to see graphs... will there be graphs soon available at headroom?

Dropped out:
DT 770 bass heavy/found out they weren't closed
DT 880 more balanced than DT 770/found out they weren't closed

 

[oqvist]

DT 770 Pros are the closed DT 770s
