Right so I am on the market for a set of headphones having been looking at reviews going back and forth for the past week now.
I originally had a set of Goldrings NS1000 which were ok I guess but they aren't that well built so had developed cracks and thus have been returned. I am back to my (don't hate on me) Bose Triports which I personally prefer the sound of over the Goldrings.
In recent days i have narrowed my search down to the DT770, Shure SRH840, B&W P5, and even the Pioneer HDJ-500.
From reading far and wide the DT770 seems to be one of the best out of that lot but the problem I have is that the cable isn't easily swappable to one which has an iPod remote. The Shure's look physically too big to be used as portables, B&W's are expensive, and the Pioneers? Well they're on-ears from pictures i've seen and I haven't managed to find many reviews yet.
As these will be used on public transport I think they will need to be closed phones at the very least and preferably around-ears. So any suggestions people?
