Another vote for the D1001's
They aren't as fragile as they look.. course I haven't really been rough with them

I haven't heard of anyone breaking them.

You could go for a lesser Denon model (fitting your -$150 budget) for bass justice !:O

AH-D1001 is $90+, but the next step up are the D2000's@$215. (<Epic Justice)

First, hello and welcome to the Head-fi community. Second, I don't think you should rule out the DT770 (pro80 ohm version) so quickly. I find that they work fine straight out of an ipod and have no problems from my computer. Like most headphones, they work better with an amp, but if you're really worried about them needing amping for power reasons and such, get a fiio or other small portable. To me these sound like a good option based on the given criteria, they isolate quite well for normal use, are solid as a tank, they are known for having that "little extra bass", and the velour pads are quite comfortable. I'm not trying to say that they are he greatest, nor am I trying to suggest that they beat all these other headphones, just that you should not write them off too quickly. The DT770 can be very good phones unamped, and meet the other criteria so take another look!

Ok the dt770 looks like it would break in a day unless the part from the ear part to the part that goes over ur head is some type of metal but it looks plastic! So idk

 

[tdogzthmn]

You have obviously never owned a beyer. They are all built to last. I own some DT770s and I could certainly bludgeon a small mammal without leaving a mark on the headphone. So you are wrong in terms of the DT770 being fragile.

Denon d1001 - I'm using the OEM which is Creative Aurvana Live! So far so great. I read somewhere that they have identical drivers and comfort level as well. You should definitely checkout the d1001's

 

[Raq05]

have you considered the Ulatrasone HFI-780. I listen to the same music as you and love them

Tried ATH-ES7 > DT770 > Dre Beats and the HFI-780 beat all hands down in every aspect except comfort.

Works perfectly unamped out of my Cowon D2

Good luck.

LOL of corse I have not owned dt770s....i'm new to this and never have owned and head phones over 50$$ haha and no I have never looked at the ultrasones.. Never heard of them but I'll check them out and .I have been looking at the d1001 and they look nice I just wanna see what else is out there! Plus I wanna see if I can get some used here for cheaper and I have about 2.5 weeks left untill I can post in the for sale topic.... So there isn't really any rush.

One of the things I was impressed about the DT770 pros was the durable feel. They give you the impression they can be used to fend off thieves and still work afterwords, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Hey is it me or are the HFI-780s kinda FOTM?

 

[idkwhatheadphonesare]

Hahaha fend off gangstas... LOL k I'm getting them now! Jk LOL um ya I'm just not sure I like the ultrasone pro750! But to expensive and there probly not the type I'm looking for!

 

[steven_1026]

My vote goes to the denon d1001 as well. I don't think they feel very durable, but they actually are. I've dropped mine countless times onto hardwood floor and they still look and sound flawless. These would also work perfectly coming directly out of your ipod/comp. They're a great option to introduce you to this hobby.

 

[idkwhatheadphonesare]

Wow slot of 1001 suggestions I might have to get them!

 

[idkwhatheadphonesare]

Alright I think I'm going to get the d1001s they seem right for me
Just a few questions
Are these ****ers comfy... I'm talking like 5 hours straight wearing them?!
If I decide to get a amp will it make these better?!
Who wants to sell me a pair

I got one offer already but I think I can get a better offer!
How duable are they?

 

[subtle]

Your hardcore gangsta language doesn't have a place here. This is a family forum.

 

[idkwhatheadphonesare]

Any ways I'm not gunna start a flame fest!! So here is my sorry for a word that this forum blanks out anyways with * < those
