__I want the something high-end, but within reason.


I need sound isolation with an adequate amount, about 12-15db. I would also prefer circumaural over canal. I dont want to go over $200 for the phones, I primarily listen to Acoustic guitar and vocals and really want a full, balanced spectrum of sound in my listening. I enjoy a lot of punch when I am listening to music. I'm using an Extigy as my main source, but I'm thinking of getting the m-audio revo. I want to avoid an amp for budget reasons if possible.

Thanks.

beyerdynamic dt250-80 sounds like the ticket for you

For not that much more the Audio-Technica ATH-A900 is a MUCH better choice for home use, for gaming and home use (all kinds of music)

Bangraman, U really think that aths a900 is better for the music he likes(punchy etc.) than the dt250-80's?
without an amp?

just wondering.

A900 - Comfortable, circumaural, efficient enough for sound cards, big soundstage for gaming, good impact and sound for rock

AKG K271 - Comfortable, curcumaural, efficient, more neutral sound, better for jazz IMO

Ultrasone HFI-650- Some complaints about comfort, efficeint, analytical sound
HFI-650 DVD - Same as above with more bass

The sound has good impact, as good as the 250 (which isnt that impactful really). The A900 has better extension and far better soundstaging (i.e. better cues). The 250 doesn't isolate much. The A900 isolates a little more. It's also a heck of a lot easier to drive. The only problem is the size, especially on them caucasian pinheads of yours

HEY, my A500's fit fine on me, and I only have my eggos on the 2nd notch on each side (up from the plastic), so I guess I have a small head, but I have big ears

 

[dsm02c]

I think that I am going to go with the A900's but just want to know how tight they are. Thank-you all for all of your time.

They fit pretty loose on me, though I've got a pin head.
