Hmm...I should have rephrased what I want in terms of looks...
I don't want them to be flashy-I don't need some other kid stealing them
I looked at some other options above, and I really think the Shure 535s would be great. What do you think the biggest con from running these unamped would be?
As for the Audio Technica ES10s, I have already heard a pair (Best closed and kinda portable headphones I've heard...so far) and will pick up a pair next time I'm in Japan.
Just some headphone background-I started with a pair of Beats Pros, then heard a pair of AT W5000s at my grandpa's, and thought, "****. These are good. I need a pair of these!" I asked if I could buy a pair but I was told I have to work my way up; I wouldn't appreciate the sound if I just jumped in at the top. (According to grandpa) So now I have a pair of AKG K702s, Beats Pros, a Fiio E11, and B&W C5s...and I'm willing to graduate from a C5 to (most likely) Shure SE 535s.
