Seems like your choices are pretty limited if it's a large over the ear style that you want and sealed (Lots of choices in open ear) The Grado's and there is the a set of noise cancelling Sennheiser (PXC 450). Personally I think the top Shure in ears (SE530) are the way to go. They sound really good without an amp and will be much more versatile then a big pair. If you get them and want the Push to Hear option, don't buy it, I have one and you can have it.
Best Sealed/Full-Sized/Balanced Headphones for iPo
I'm not a big fan of putting things into my ears, unless it's my finger. I've been using the B&O A8 earphones for some time now but really want something that fits around my ear, rather than goes into my ear. I also want to be able to use it with my iPod, preferably without having to get an amp. I'm open to suggestions though.
I was at the Apple store yesterday and listened to the Bose around-ear headphones and thought they were quite nice. Then someone whispered in my ear: "No highs, no lows, must be Bose."
At one point, during a daydream, I thought about getting the AKG 701s, a Simple iPod amp and calling it a day. I'm a software engineer and work in a cubeless environment so it would be rude of me to force others to listen to my music.
Thoughts, hazings and suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks,
Jon
