Okay, I've changed my mind about the other thread because I tried out the urbanites and man; they were just really uncomfortable. And it seems to be just me, too...
 
Soooo does anyone know any headphones in the $250 range that are kinda suited for home use at a desk or a laptop       without the requirement of an amp?
 
I've been looking at the DT770s and the Denon D2000s but they both have a giant cable which isn't really practical but everything else on them was spot on (except the denon's price)
 
Thanks!

DT770 32 ohm
M-100 (would get XL pads with them though)

 

[brisskyy]

Oh right, well I'm not sure if they would have the same sound as the 80 ohm version which sounded really good for me.

80 ohm needs amp.

 

[brisskyy]

Oh, they sounded pretty good on a laptop, but I'm not really an enthusiast or "audiophile"

V-Moda M100 seems your best bet. Fairly easy to drive with portable devices.

The problem with me for the vmoda's are that they are probably uncomfortable even with xl pads and that I won't really be using them to their full extent as I dont take my headphones on the go. Soo I think I could get better sound for the same price and maybe more suited to home use? I might just get the dt770 32 ohm, if they have the same sound as the 80 ohm which I have tried

Sweet mamma, those look nice.
 
I will try them and hope the bass doesn't overpower too much into vocals and stuff. And hope they will work on my computer too!

They're my next planned purchase. I would have got them already, but bought the higher-end Focal Spirit Professional recently.
 
What I find most interesting is that the SZ2K has dual drivers, like a woofer and tweeter ala speakers!
 
And yeah, V-MODA headphones are pretty uncomfortable without the XL Memory Cushions.

Just use EQ to tweak it to your liking. Those dual drivers help the bass and mids/treble be distinct from each other.

 

[brisskyy]

Alright, I'll try to EQ them when i get them but wow they look so nice! A built in woofer, aw yee!
 
How would you compare them to the DT770 Pros though?

You can also get aftermarket ear pads to customize the fit and sound.
 
No idea.
