Hi,
I've done a lot of searching but seem to be getting more confused...
I'm looking for an upgrade for my PX200s which I use with a Sony NWZ-HD5 mp3 player. The sound is pretty good, but I'm looking to get even better sound if possible. I also find the PX200s uncomfortable for more than about 40 mins, and that on busy public transport they do not isolate that well and I have to have the volume up pretty high.
My requirements are that the phones are closed back as I will be using them in public, they need to have a reasonable amount of noise isolation, possibly circumaural (or a different type of on-ear phone to the PX200).
I was looking at the HD228, but not sure if that is an improvement in SQ, as they are actually slightly cheaper than the PX200 here in the UK.
The type of music I listen to various from Jazz, classical, rock, electronica, funk, soul.
