Hello, all, I'm new.
However, I've been on the internet since it began, and was a Sysop before all were on it (Mind Matters BBS), and so I am a little experienced.
I need to find an upgrade for my Bose headphones. These are the triport, cost around $140 (not noise reduction), and seem decent as far as overall sound quality. More importantly, they keep out external sound very well because of their tight fit.
I ride the subways in NYC every day, and also have an HD600, which I've proven is virtually worthless compared to the Bose headphones, because the subway is so loud.
I read that the Denon 2000 are recommended, both for sound quality and keeping out noise. But I've seen conflicting reviews. Some say it keeps out external sound very well, and some say it does not. Which is it?
Can someone who has (or had) both compare them from this perspective? Also, since my priorities are as follows:
1) No external noise
2) Overall sound quality
3) Inexpensiveness
are there any other possibilities that match those priorities, around the cost of the Denon 2000 or even more expensive?
Thanks.
