I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a nice very comfortable, very lightweight, closed headphone around 300 bucks give or take. I have had the Ultrasone Pro 750's for a little over a year now and am looking to try out a new set of cans. I absolutely love the soundstage and clarity that 750's achieve. The only faults are that I find though are that they seem to be a little bit on the heavy side and although the earpads are extremely soft, I find that they still put pressure on the outside of my pretty large ears. I was doing some research on what pairs of headphones I should look into that are lightweight and have a very large earpad since those are the only negatives I have found with my pros. I tried out one of my friend's AKG 702's and loved how lightweight and how large and comfortable they were on my ears. I would get those if I could, but obviously the AKG 702 is open and I'm looking for headphones that are closed. I am normally in environments where either it is a little noisy or I just don't want to have the entire population hear what I am listening to (currently a college student). I was checking out the AKG K272 HD's since those have around the same build as the 702's, but I am still very indecisive on what I want. I was hoping that someone could offer me a few suggestions on what the best headphones would be for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Some basic information about what I'm looking for and tastes I have:
1. LIGHTWEIGHT
2. LARGE EARPADS
3. Closed Circumaural
4. I listen to whole spectrum of rock and also rap
5. Lower impedance would be ideal but not a killer (getting a better dac/amp setup soon)
