Hi there,

Just getting into the headphone community. I just purchased the AKG K81 DJ and honestly, I don't feel like it was much of an improvement over my speakers or other pair of headphones. I can only see the benefits of this headphone are the prominent bass and the nice isolation it provides.

I am looking to get another pair open or closed (but closed preferably). I'm trying to find a pair of headphones and could really use some help. I am trying to find a nice set of cans that will allow me to immerse myself in the music. I listen to all types of music, willing to spend up to $200 US.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What about the Sennheiser HD595? Amazon has them for $189.

Denon D2000s. Can get them for $200 used, don't need an amp to sound excellent (though they certainly improve with one).
