Is it worth the extra $20US for the 212 Pro?
I'm a university student with a 1 hour+ bus ride, so I need sealed headphones, and the KSC-50s don't cut it.

here's the links:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?sku=S302-1014 for the 212

I can't find either of these in Canadian stores, and these guys are the cheapest of the US ones - but they don't ship to Canada.

thoughts?

If your head isn't too big, I'd point you to the Sennheiser PX200. I didn't like it that much compared to what I have, but I HATED the HD212. A horribly cheap-sounding mid+top, and a huge and bloated bass that gets really old very quickly. The PX200 does have a cut off top end and it was very bassy for me and some others (although others didn't report it) but it's fairly smooth up top and in my opinion, much more listenable. It's sealed nearly as well as the HD212, amazingly. Plus, it's REALLY cool looking. The only problem is that these seem to be extremely head size/shape and position sensitive. I'd suggest if you can, try before you buy or get them from somewhere which accepts returns.

the PXs were my first choice, but I got blank stares when I asked in the B&M stores, and nobody but headroom carries them, and they're out, too. :\

The newest (PX) headphones from Sennheiser aren't officially released in the US / Canada until mid-January...

I guess we just got lucky in Europe for a change
