I've just gone out and tried a heap of closed phones for commuting. I tried the following:
- AKG K271
- Beyerdynamic DT770PRO (80 ohm)
- DT660
- DT250-250 and
- DT250-80.
Of all of these, I like the DT250-80 best for sound.
Then I tried the AKG K240S. It sounds fantastic to my ears. Not as harsh as most of the above, and a bit more clear than the DT250-XX.
I even went outside with them on. Isolation seemed pretty good. I got the salesman to put them on with my iPod on full blast. While I could hear it, it was so soft, and I had to get within a foot of his head for it to be any level at all.
So my question to you is ... what's your opinion on the K240S for commuting (walking along a busy road / sitting on a train)?
