Hi All,
I'm trying to find a comfortable closed phone for extended use (6-10 hours a day). I enjoy mostly rock, classical and trance/trip-hop.
I will run them directly out of a cowon x5 as I don't want to use my amp and chew up batteries. I also don't want to carry an amp/batteries and cords back and forth everyday.
I have some iem's but don't like to use them for these long periods of time.
Isolation is also important.... as is lack of leakage so as not to disturb people around me. Cost is not so important, I will happily pay for a good set of phones that sound good and don't give me cauliflower ears
I currently use the k26p but they absolutely KILL my ears. I stretched, bent, molested, etc. the headband but to no avail. I really like the reviews of the k81 but I'm real scared of the head clamping. These k26's have me real gunshy...
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
I forgot to mention that I'm currently living in a 3rd world country and don't have the luxury of buying, trying and returning. It is worth it to me to pay up front and get something good the first time.
