Hi all!

I'm looking for a new headphone. I currently own a Wesc oboe (yeah i know) and I've patched them up from time to time, and I'm not counting on them to last much longer.

These must be a closed set, since i will be using it mostly while riding the train. And under €100. Ohyeah, and I'm in love with the Grado SR-60i's, but they're too open to listen to in public transport, right?

I like mostly listen to techno music, but i enjoy a little bit of everything

looked at so far:
Denon AH-D1001 (Creative Aurvana Live!)
Audio Technica ATH-M50

anyone have other suggestions?

For techno, I'm a big proponent of the ATH-M50. I've never heard the Denons, but never had a reason to since I like my M50 so much.

ATH-ES7 is great for electronica. Clean, low, punchy bass, good detail, eye catching (in a good way) design. Arguably the best portables in its price range.

Is "Denon AH-D1001" & "Creative Aurvana Live!" the same thing?

Kind Regards,
Force.

They use the same drivers, however the enclosures are different. There are some people who have both and believe that the D1001 is better, but I haven't heard both.

Well i needed a good headphone not for my listening in music, but doing transcription thing. Reading this post, i guess i have the idea now what brand should i look for a good headphone. Thank you

Avoid the Denon if you need to block out sound.

thanks for the good suggestions!

it's now between the Creative Aurvana Live! and the ATH-ES7 i think

well i dont really need to block out sound, its more about the people who are sitting next to me in the train. I think its very annoying when you can hear someone else's music
