Studio headphones

[evmedievalol]

I was looking into Sennheiser HD 589 SE but i just can't get over with the small snail looking cans..
I may have to spend little more for better designed headphones..
 
After hours of research, i found Sennheiser HD 600 ($320) and Fostex t50rp Mayflower V2 or Mad Dog modded.
I am looking for something balanced, and neutral for studio headphone.
 
Design wise, i love HD 600 over T50rp.. Since i haven't tried any of the headphones, i can't really choose one.
Comfort wise, i need something that is light with less clamp force. I wear difference pairs of glasses so some headphones are super uncomfortable, makes my glasses lift up.
 
Which one would you guys recommend?
 
Thanks

How headphones fit with glasses really differs from person to person. Be sure to buy the headphones from a vendor that allows returns.

What device will you be using to power your headphones?

just my macbook pro retina for now.
I was lucky enough to try out MK3 at Guitar Center. It wasn't comfortable and i felt like the bass was little overwhelming or too punchy -_-..
It looked horrible on my head too haha
 
ah... i ordered HD 600 on Ebay for $320. NEVER expected to pay this much for a headphone.. Even though my earphones cost $170..

Your Macbook Pro may or may not satisfactorily power your headphones. They are not easy to drive. You may end up needing a headphone amp.
