This is true.

Yeah, I meant full-size as in circumaural, or "around-ear." If you don't mind that, the ATH-A700s or the ATH-M50 would be pretty nice, and my nod would go to the M50. You might want a mini amp like a FiiO E5 just for a slight boost on either of them though.
Although if you don't care too much about bucketloads of isolation, the ES7 is still very good.

I just want the best sound quality for under $100 which don't leak too much and also isolate the sound around me nicely. Despite hearing a lot of good reviews about the grados, I think they will just be impractical. |
