I'm currently in the market for a sub $150 set of phones. Been reading up the last few days (had no idea there was such a community out there for headphones!), and have pretty much narrowed it down to these two. I know these both fall well below my budget, but nothing else I've read about closer to $150 seem to compare to these two. I would be open to doing the mods to either one (but not recabling).
For the most part, I will be listening to them through my home theater pre-amp (how does this compare to actually having a separate headphone amp?), but may hook them up to my iPod Video (5.5 gen) occasionally. Isolation and containment is not a huge issue for me - just want whatever sounds better, and are comfortable.
I listen to mostly progressive rock, with some jazz fusion and acoustical stuff mixed in.
After doing a lot of reading up on both of these, it seems anyone who has heard both of them seems to prefer the JVC's hands down. Is there anyone out there that's heard both and prefers the Denon's?
