My primary use for these headphones would be listening to music meant to assist in meditation (binaural theta tones, with mild ambient music overlayed on top), and also generally wearing around the house instead of my custom in-ears (meditating with in-ears, you can feel your pulse, incredibly annoying lol). Comfort is an absolute top priority, and I would like them to be good at noise isolation as well. I'm not to fussy over the sound signature for these, but clarity is very important. I'll either be using my iPhone 5 or my Fiio X5 to drive them, so I would want them to be relatively easy to drive headphones. For context, I'm currently using a 3 year old Sennheiser HD 449 for this role, but they fall a little bit short on the three areas I'm looking for (clarity, comfort, and noise isolation)
P.S. I was looking at the Shure 1540's, they look incredibly comfortable, I'm just not sure I wanna spend as much on these as I did for my desktop listening, in the HD 650's. Money isn't too big a concern, but I doubt I'll be using them often enough to warrant spending that much
