Hey, I've lurking for a short time, trying to choose my first closed headphones.
Current and past headphones: I currently own pretty cheap Creative in-earbuds and I owned Sennheiser H555 (modded). I quite liked the 555 but since they were open I couldn't use them as often as I would have liked. I would like them to be well isolated, both from outside noise and leaking out of the headphones.
Music: a lot of electronic, trip-hop and drum'n'bass but also more easy going stuff like Zero 7, Thievery Corporation and similar. So would like the headphones to be very good for electronic etc. but able to handle other music. Definitely don't want an overpowering bass, that drowns everything else out. I do realize that they can't be best at every thing
Sources: usually MP3, some 320 but also 128. Only listen from MacBook Pro and HTC Desire HD Android phone.
So far I've been looking at:
Ultrasone HFI-580
Shure SRH440 and SRH840
Audio-Technica ATH-M50
Currently most keen on the HFI-580 but not decided at all. Anything else I should be looking at in the price range of those headphones? Thanks guys
