Alright all this is my firs t post so hopefully you can help me...for the record I'm an audio newb and don't know terms (ie isolation, noise cancelling)
EDIT: I've been seriously considering Sennheiser HD 595
Does anyone have any experance with these? (other opinions still welcome)

A) NOT EARBUDS I would like the muff styles
B) 200-250 dollar price range (willing to add more if justified well enough)
C) Comfort is important, I'm not sure what side of head I have but i have semi-long hair
D)Ipod touch Connectivity is a must, but i'd like to be able to hook it up to my computer for movies and my Tv for gaming so Something that suits all those needs. (mainly ipod though)
E)Preferably black, but not a huge issue
F) Something with the best bells and whistles (isolation? Noise cancelling?)
G) Available in Canada (if a website makesure it's a legit one - with pics)
H) Anything I'm missing

You're probable better of getting a 100-150 dollar headphone + a headphone amplifier. You should list the music genre you listen to. The HD595 is one of the few high quality sennhieser that don't require an amp suitable for gaming. but If your mainly going to listen to music you might want something different. for that much moey you could get a hd580+amp. Note most of these headphone aren't suitable for outdoor use most open headphones don't fair well in noise environments.

While the HD 595s are great headphones and work particularly well unamped, they will leak. That being said, you may want to look into getting a pair of Beyer DT 770s with a portable amp, or the Audio Technica A900. Also, you could always save yourself a hundred bucks or so and get a pair of AKG K81 DJs.
