Be careful - I just saw an interview with Pete Townsend (the Who) who said he lost his hearing from listening too loudly at home with headphones, not from the sound on stage. I don't know if he's right, but that's what he said. That said, the Oppo PM-3 phones are very good and can be gotten at decent prices in many cases, despite the high asking prices for Oppo 205 DVD players. I've also seen some PM-2's around, which are even nicer. They are very efficient, so they can be driven by low-powered amps. I am partial to my Grado 1000 open-back phones, but the Oppos were really the first closed backs I liked.
Headphones $600 or less
