Hey!

I'm new to Head-Fi, and I'm going to get my first "good" headphones.

So, I've read many good reviews about them, but how could I compare them?

Price range is under 200$, so there's a lot of headphones on that

Here's the list:

Audio Technica ATH-M50
Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 80 ohm
Sennheiser HD 380 Pro
Shure SRH 840

Feel free to suggest more

Looks like you're looking for closed-back?
 
Audio Technica ATH-A900X beats them all, IMHO.

Yes, I prefer closed, those are over my budget

If you can't buy online but you have a BestBuy, price match.
 
If you're not in the U.S.,

Ath ws99. Beats dt770 and m50, mdr 1r, Fidelio l1.

Grado 225i. Grados are really polarizing around these parts, but if you like 'em, you'll love 'em.

I ended up getting Beyerdynamic DT 770.

I tried like 8 different headphones, and only these felt good on my ears, others, well, my ear was in contact with the driver and it was really disturbing.

Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

+1 for the AT's...I really like the AT sound profile. Grados are good too, but yeah, they're really polarizing. Either you love them or you hate them.

I think your choice is a good one. They're one of my favorite headphones, but I'm a bit of a Beyerdynamic fan.
 
What about the Custom One didn't you like? I've been curious about this headphone for a while and there isn't a store anywhere in the are where I could demo that pair.

That's important to me, too. I returned ATH-M50s because my ears were brushing against the earpad in front of the driver (among other reasons) and it's why I haven't bought some of the Sonys that interest me. On ear somehow bothers me less than over ear with shallow cups.
