I know. All this information scattered across the forum and I still can't decide. Sad, huh?
Anywho, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD497s and they sound great on my CD player. However, I just bought an IAudio M3 to listen to while I work and I've found that I tend to need more isolation on most days. Also, connected to the M3, the 497s have too much treble and I really begin to notice how rolled off the bass is in comparison. So what I'm looking for is a sealed headphone (because IEMs would provide too much isolation and I constantly take them on and off) with a more balanced sound than the 497s. A little less treble, a little more bass, possibly a more pronounced midrange, but that should sort itself out with less treble (I think).
Anywho, I can pay up to around a hundred dollars and I've been looking at a few different ones - the Beyer DT 231, the Senn HD 280 Pro, and the Senn HD 25-sp - and I could really use some help from people who know what they sound like or have some possible alternatives in that price range.
Thank you all for your help.
