>>what looks like the best deal from
them?<<
I use beyer dt250's, which are about £80/$110. the problem I
have with cans generally is that really low bass (esp. electronic, like from a
moog or suchlike) doesn't register properly (you need an extra driver fastened
to y'r stomach/ribcage, basically) and before too long, the drivers are goosed
from the extreme levels and bassness.
I could probably remove both these issues by simply spending a
bit more (on, say, the sony mdr750x series at around twice the price) but I
reckon I'd still burst them in a matter of days- I own a memorymoog and a
supernova rack in addition to a dozen bass guitars. ho hum.
duncan.
