Paiseh stare at computer for too long...

Do try the NOCS NS800 selling for $369 but now with 20% off! =)

Old school rock can try out Koss Portapro but open cans - meaning you don't really get isolation.

If you can go slightly higher, the Grado SR60i is good for rock too.

alright thanks! grado sr60 looks promising
any other recommendation to compare?

BA200 (very hi audio quality for it's price, but lacks alot in the bass area.)
SE215 (More balanced then ba200, has bass. Muddy sounding.)
GR07 Mk2 or bass edition (Just lies between the 2, most balanced but slightly more expensive)

Second BA200 recommendation but disagree with lacking in bass

I consider it less then neutral, so it's kinda lacking for me.
Especially those frequencies in sub-bass region.

If it's not lacking in bass, um3x must be a bass monster xD...

For those of you who use large headphones, the kind that cover the entire ear, don't you find it's a little too hot and uncomfortable to use in a aircon-less environment?

 

[TeamStereo]

That depends on how tight the grip is on the ears. =)
