Thanks again, everyone, for your thoughts. I really wanted to go for the Senheissers, but that sale was gone by the time I tried to check out, as I said. I just found a sale on Senheisser HD 380 Pros, though, $99 instead of $199 on Amazon. I hadn't heard them mentioned, but I figured Senheisser

Okay guys, here we go. The Sony MDRV6 with CCAW voice coil is currently $50. However, a pair of Senheisser 598s is currently just $100, and those puppies are apparently far more expensive normally. Again considering accurate sound reproduction, wearing them for long stretches, and overall

Sadly, the deal was gone by the time I got to it. Trust me, it was all I could do not to punch a wall. smile Now, it's between the Sonys and a set a friend swears by: the Grado SR80E. Both are similarly priced. The only hesitation I have with the Sonys (which another friend loves) is that

Hi, If your looking for over the ear, and something you can just wear for a long time in comfort, I recommend the Sennheiser Momentums. I’m using them right now, and absolutely love them. The ear pads are extremely plush, and the band is made of titanium. Very good build quality hear. And, the

Another thing to consider is longer-term investment. About 15 years ago I bought some nice high-end Sennheiser studio headphones after years of going through cheapie sets. They sound great and are super comfortable with a hard outer shell which blocks a lot of noise. I guess you could find

Great point, I hadn't considered that. So it looks like Sony and Sennheiser are the favorites. I'm avoiding Beats, because they're just over-priced, but are there any other brands/models people like? I'm headed to Best Buy today to have a look at any demo units they have available so I can hear

If long-term comfort is a priority, Sennheiser's higher end headphones are the way to go, their ear cushions are ridiculously soft. The MDRV6 has replaceable ear pads, but I'm not sure about the cord. I'd say the Sonys would be a good bet at that budget and for the application. On Nov 25,

I like my urban ears headphones that I got at the Apple Store there the over the ear type kind of like beats, but they are a little bit more retro looking, looking sort of like headphones used to look in the 1920s but way more comfortable and the bass, is freaking awesome! And they fold up

Hi Alex, For audio editing, I use around-the-ear headphones, Sony MDRV6s, that sound great. They have a reputation for having a sound that doesn't mask the qualities of the original audio source. I wouldn't exactly call them mobile headphones, though they do fold up for transport or storage.

Thanks guys. I looked on Amazon, and the Sony ones are $85, but with 4.6 out of 5 stars and nearly 1800 reviews. Given that both are within my price range, would you say the Sennheiser or Sony is better? I'd love to have the quality of the Sony pair, but I'm a bit worried that they'll bring out
