Yea, it would be best if OP clarifies if noise isolation or even cancellation is still a priority seeing as this greatly impacts the recommendations that he should be getting.
We're all gonna end up sitting around campfires at those "occupy wall street" rallies when we graduate... Spending all of our tuition money on headphones. Sigh...
Jerg, truer words were never spoken.
Ok guys - I really don't care about isolation. It would be a plus, but that's it.
Now, HiFi HE400 are clearly out of my budget. Deals I can find are.
HD598 - 240$
ATH-ES10 - 400$
AKG K550 - 320$
Also, Lord Voldemort said that the HD598's bass may dissapoint.
Could it be fixed with a Fiio E10, or EQ? How does it compare to the M50s?
Oh, and I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to drive any new cans. That any good?

Huh...HE400s are the same price as ATH-ES10, $400. Unless you mean Head-Direct cannot ship to your country and you have to buy an inflated price from a local dealer.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write that long post.
Well, now I'm torn. We have HD698s, which seem a bargain for $240.
But then again, I'd want to invest more money so that my new cans would keep me interesting for at least 1-2 years.
Will the HE400s need an extra amp? Can I get away with a Fiio? Do I want to get away with a Fiio?
