Hey all, I have a somewhat multi-part question. My current headphone is an ath-ad900, which I really like. However, its is an open headphone (which offers no isolation) and it also somewhat lacks the bass I would like for certain music (rock, electronic, some gaming/movies). So, I am looking for a complimentary pair of headphones that will offer me the 1) good isolation (for planes/trains and noisy neighbors), 2) bass for when things go boom, and 3) A "fun" musical experience, meaning they need not be neutral, seeing as my AD900's are nice and neutral.
Now, I've done a bit of research and I know that a top contender here will be the Beyer DT 770's. I have a few questions. First, and most obviously, are these the best closed phones for the price range that will fit my needs? Second, my AD900s are pretty damn easy to drive (their like 30 ohms I think), they easily get loud enough out of my X-Fi card and are reasonably loud from my ipod - so my question is - am I best off getting the 80 ohm version so that I can get a cheaper amp, seeing as my ad900's don't even really need it? Lastly, I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with the seller on ebay who is selling DT770s for ~150$? (Are they reputable/trust-able?)
