I own a pair of AKG K601s and they sound great with my receiver. But there are times when just need to shut out the world, and sometimes I even want to listen to music (and other times just nothing).
I did some research, but I created this thread just in case I might have been looking up some obsolete information or there are some updates or new products arriving in the near future that I might want to save my money for to buy it then.
I'd like to shoot as low as I can go, but about ~$2,000 USD is my limit. Technically I could go higher, but 2000 is just a comfortable figure I made up on the spot for my range.
Sound quality is not too much of an importance, but I figure most cans at this price should come with some decent sound by default.
Anyway, the most prominent feature I am looking for is comfort and silence. I want to be able to wear these for hours on end without even knowing they are there, and I don't want to hear the train outside while I'm blanking out the rest of the world (I would like to wear these headphones sometimes without even plugging them into anything just to shut out sound, like if I'm studying or something). I love my AKGs, but unfortunately after wearing them for about an hour or less the area around my ears begin to ache horribly and causes me a lot of discomfort after extended period of consecutive use. I don't want to make the same mistake again.
