the bose headphones with noise cancelation are really nice, not bad for 300, i sure liked em

I have watched them on ebay go for around 150-200 most of the time

Bose is WAY overpriced. Those 150$ triport sound worse than my sennheiser 212pros. The quiet comforts are a joke, for 300$ they should at least sound decent, but they dont, way too muddy and murky.

Shit did i tell you that? Cause I always say that!!! Sony MDR-7506 for closed headphones or Sennheiser HD-580 or HD-600 for open. Everything else is crap.

I wouldn't call Grado RS-1's "crap", but to each their own //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Yes, I bit that line from you.

The grado stuff has a very unique sound signature that you either love or dont. They are either impactful and fun, or thin and trebly depending how you look at it. I like the laid back sound of senns more. Im about to pick up a pair of HD555's for x-mas. Hopefully they'll be good unamped.

look into sennheiser HD655's - i have a set and they are freakin sweet, but i do NOT know what "best available" ones are.
if you are going to go that route, you better have a 2~5wpc tube amp for your headphones. *enters jack*

Yep, sennheiser hd655's kick ***.

wtf is a hd655?? dont you mean hd650? either way, yes. But you have to wary, because with headphones this detailed, any flaw in the recordings or from your source or headphone amp will be very noticeable.
