I need some proper closed headphones or possibly earbuds (NO IEM) for under 100 dollars. Specifically to be used with my iPod. This rules out Grados and such, but im also looking for something that has some amount of noise cancelling; but its not a must. More importantly I need something comfortable, and my main fear about px1000's are comfortability and long term worth...

Denon D1000s sound right for you. Comfortable, easy to drive, closed and sound good.

full size: sennheiser hd280
IEM: etymotic er6i with (shure olive tips)

i have owned both, they provide amazing isolation. both can be driven fine with an ipod. The px100 will provide very little isolation and leak more like a grado. The px200 is the closed version, but it doent sound as good because it is so hard to get a proper seal.

edit: denon d1000 will probably sound better than 280, just less isolation

Any proposals for the 60 to 80 side of the numbers?

 

[electronicmaji]

Any more suggesitons?

ATH-ES7 fits the bill.

Ok, I think i'm gonna get grado 60's I'm just hoping I can mod them to stop sound leakage when I travel, otherwise i'm screwed...

 

[tpc41]

do a little searching before trying to mod sr60s to stop the leakage, u might find out they sound terrible when modded, see if anyone else has attempted a mod like this

 

[electronicmaji]

oh im sure they will sound terrible when when modded; but they will sound better then my ipod earbuds.

 

[tpc41]

well for the same price as sr60s, maybe look at the Amazon.com: AKG Closed-Back Foldable DJ Headphones - K81DJ: Electronics
they are bound to sound better than something homemade

If you do that there's no point in getting the Grados. If you want something small, try the Yuin PK3/2

 

[electronicmaji]

But grados look so god damn cool, I just need them to not leak on planes...T_T

beyerdynamic DT 235 Black @ HeadRoom - Right Between Your Ears

Are these any good?

 

[electronicmaji]

Ok what are my earbud options? non IEM specifically, are Yuin p3s any good?

 

[tpc41]

yuins are regarded as the best of the ear buds, i dont think there are many other options for high end earbuds, maybe the sennheiser buds
