I'm a first-time poster, and I've been reading through a couple of the threads in the forum, but I didn't want to jack anyone else's thread, so I decided to make my own. Pretty much though, I'm looking to upgrade my headphones. I have the Everglide S500 headphones (that I got off of woot), Ultimate Ears Metro.fi 2 earphones, and Sennheiser cx300's (which are terrible).
I'm going to be using these headphones with my iPod, probably listening to a mix of rap, rock, techno and classical music, and probably a lot of other stuff in between, so I need something that's fairly balanced between bass and treble. I also need something that can block out a good deal of sound without having to turn the volume all the way up.
I'm looking at the Denon AH-D1001's right now, and based on all the reviews I've read, they're pretty much awesome. I was also looking at the Technics RP-DH1200's, and they looked pretty similar, just a bit cheaper. My roommate has the Sony MDR-xxxxx series, but they sounded a bit weak, and besides, if we got the same phones, it wouldn't be that cool. I figure DJ-quality headphones would be ideal for me, since they've got the emphasis on bass and treble, and should be able to block out sound pretty well. I also considered getting the Grado SR60's, but I kind of feel like I should invest in some super-nice Grado's later on when I've got more money. I'm looking to spend less than $150, give or take a couple bucks. Any suggestions?
