Hi guys.
I currently have a portable set up of a shure SE535 and a RSA predator, and for home use i have a meier concerto with a FA-003. I was thinking of getting a flagship headphone, but currently i'm having so much difficulty in choosing! I was initially tempted by the LCD-2 (i come from the military, so compared to the helmets we wear, the 400odd gram headphones are a child's play) but i've been searching around and it seems like there are a lot of workmanship problems with them. Should i still go for them? Or are there better flagships like the T1's. HD800's. HE-6? I don't really listen to a specific genre, but listen to a wide wide range...
thank you!
Wait a few months and there's the new flagship LCD-3 coming out...

of course u can power them from ur phone they have a low imdependence
Though I would like to clarify that impedance is not the only factor. Sensitivity also plays a large role.

I would like to spend $200 maybe $250 if its worth it on a pair of over ear closed headphones. I mainly listen to rock. I will be playing them out of an ipod with no external amp. They need to be comfortable (will be wearing them 4+ hours sometimes). I have been looking at the ath m50, beyerdynamic dt 770, ultrasone hfi 780, akg k271 mii, and shure srh 840. I am open to other suggestions besides the cans that i listed. Thanks for all help!!!!
Are these for home or portable or office?
DT770: too bassy, not enough top end, also needs an amp
K271: also doesn't sound that great without an amp
M50: good low and high end, mids slightly withdrawn
840: bass sloped, I prefer this to M50 but tastes will vary
HFi780: even balanced sound, S-Logic
Of the choices listed, my vote goes to the Ultrasone.

Accidentally made a new thread then saw this one, I'll copy and paste what I wrote
Things I'm looking for:
- closed & noise cancelling, don't want anyone to hear me, vice versa.
- price range: anything up to a max of about $280.
These are going to be STRICTLY for music, I listen to dubstep/rap/pop/indie/rock/some screamo.
I want something really bassy.
Any recommendations? Thank you! c:
Beyerdynamic DT770pro - very bassy and superb isolation, can be found under $200, spend the rest on a small amp to power them.

So I'm new to here, but I was listening to music while working and my right speaker in my Bose Around Ear headphones just went out... I am thinking it was caused by a messed up cord. I absolutely loved these headphones and have had them for about 2 years, but am looking at new things because it sounds like they are not the top of the line from reading here...But anyways, I am back on the market looking for some new headphones to buy and needed some guidance. A little about what I am looking for... Being an architecture student, I am constantly working in studio, and need something that has a good amount of noise-canceling. Musically I listen to just about every genre possible, the most of the music is Underground Hip Hip/Rap, but I also listen to an equal amount of Alternative and Indie Rock, Reggae, and acoustic (like Jack Johnson), with the ocasional dubstep (I love a little bass)... Lastly, I am looking for a pair of headphones that are around the same sleekness as the Bose Around Ear, and not as clunky as some of the headphones I see, and an iPod control (3 buttons) on the cord would be awesome. I am willing to spend around $150 or so...? (I will be listening directly from an iPod or my MacBook, no amp)
Thanks for your help in advance!
Hmm, I can't really think of anything that meets all those criteria...
good isolation on a budget: Senn 280, Shure 840, Sony V6
If you don't mind something smaller, maybe the Senn PX200-IIi ? It also has ipod controls.
