G'day!
I Had a pair of mdr-v6s for a few years and was reasonably satisfied with them, untill earlier this summer all my headphones/cd player/cds(alot of 'em) got stolen. So now, I need a new pair of cans. I found that after listening to my v6's for a long time, I got kinda "bored" with the sound so to speak. kinda hard to explain. So anyway, I need a new pair of cans in the sub $150 range that are closed with excellent isolation, very comforable, and reasonably portable. (note: I considered my v6's portable enough, and I would even do with bigger ones. I really don't mind lugging stuff arround). I don't want canalphones because I like to share my music sometimes, you know let somone else listen for awhile, and the canalphones would have my earwax and such on 'em, not ideal for sharing. a few other notes: I'll be listening to them through some portable audio player that is as yet decided, but probably an archos av380/av480. I listen to many different styles of music, but mainly electronic music like boards of canada, amon tobin, orbital. But I do also enjoy stuff like rage against the machine, and classical/jazz. So I guess I need a diverse set of phones. I prefer a phone where you can best pick apart the different elements, so I guess you would say a pair with good "soundstage". I looked into the hd-25s but people say they aren't the best at isolation. So... any suggestions?
