Anyone good closed headphones out there that compare to the Sennheiser HD 555s? I WOULD buy the HD 555s and mod them, but I want to listen to them when I go to school and stuff... I heard that these are open and are not recommended to listen to other than private use.

depends what kinda sound u like, but sennehiser make closed models like the HD4xx range...
 
u may also like to try shure's 440s or even 840s...
 
up the line, beyer dt250s... etc

Yeah, what is it that draws you to the HD555?  There are quite a few good closed headphones that don't have that horrible, cavernous sound.

DT250 80 ohm. If you dont want to spend as much then the SRH440.

What is your budget for buying these new headphones?
 
And what equipment will you be plugging into / other uses do you have for it?

 

[NguyenAdam]

My budget is around $150. I might buy headphones instead of the M-Audio BX5As for my computer. I want to buy an amp, but don't know where to start. I want to use it with my Zune primarily. So I would like to be mobile instead of using it exclusively for home.

Audio-Technica ATH-A700 or ATH-A900 for a little more?

Or the ATH M50s if you want a little more bass
