Stephen Gunslinger Registered: 10/09/07 Posts: 34 Loc: San Antonio, Texas	Hello, Sennheiser headphones may be worth looking into. They make an excellent line of headphones, and they have been around a very long time. Try a search for the HD series. _________________________ Outlaw 990/7125 LFM-1 EX LG 47 inch LCD Oppo 981HD Cambridge 640c II CD player DIECTV HR21-700 Rega P2 w/tweaks Klipsch RF82's, RF3's, RC62, RS3's

Good for family asleep. However using Zone 2 lets you listen (like to CD) while family watches TV. _________________________ Living Room: 5.1 Surround and 4channel inline room 990/7700/6-KEF-107s/LFM1 x 2/ SMS Awaiting Trinnov Millenium dts decoder;Digital Director Players: Tascam CD01U/SonyCX455 x 3/DV955/BDP83 Old Sony 60" SXRD TV Zone 2 (also liv-Room: listening to music while Mrs watches TV): Crown SL2 preamp/D40 Amp/Stax Headphones My "Man-cave": 4 channel-only inline room.

bestbang4thebuck Desperado Registered: 03/20/03 Posts: 668 Loc: Maryland	My personal choice for closed, lower-moderate weight and comfort, while not a maximum performer but has good bang-4-the-buck: Beyerdynamic DT 231. Edit: Some great information and reviews here: HeadRoom - right between your ears . Many kinds, large price range. The DT231's are reviewed in at least two sections, Earpad Headphones and Sealed / Noise Canceling.
