I am looking for some good headphones for roadtrips/airtrips/dorm use. They should be backpackable but not necessarily runable. Minimal leakage is important as is a fair amount of isolation. Unfortunately theft is also a concern, so cans that aren't worth a fortune is nice too. I also need something that I can wear for hours in a row with glasses.
I will be listening to 320 MP3s off my Zen Touch.
Here's what I'm considering:
HD280: is the bass too weak to enjoy rap/old school/hip hop?
HD25-SP: is the isolation there? Can I wear them comfortably with glasses?
Beyer DT250-80: Where can I find cheap ones? How much of a pain are they to lug around?
V6: How is the isolation? How analytical is the sound? Can I enjoy Flecktones on them? (jazzy bluegrass jam band, some vocals lots of instrumental)
A500: Are they backpackable? How is the leakage/isolation?
(edit) FC7: Are they comfortable with glasses? For long times?
(edit) D66 Eggos: How hot are they? Worn with glasses? Is the bass too weak to enjoy rap/hiphop?
Canalphones: Can I enjoy hiphop on them? I've never found comfortable earphones, will I be able to wear canalphones? Why are they so #%@#$% expensive? (I'd prefer not to go this route, because I like to share my music with my friends, but I wouldn't like to swap earwax with them.)
I appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks in advance, your posts so far (in other threads) have been really helpful. Under 100 would be nice. I would prefer much less if possible.
