Headphones

Brand	Model	Type	Isolation	Impedance	Price	Recommended By	Recommended Genres	Notes
AKG	K702 (similar to K701)	Over-ear	Semi-open	62 Ohm	$265	Matt	Most electronic stuff, acoustic/layered rock, jazz	Very comfortable, long detachable cable, durable metal casing, probably needs an amp
Audio Technica	ATH-M50	Over-ear	Closed	38 Ohm	$159	mutantmonkey	House, minimal, techno, trance	1/8" connector is somewhat malleable, recommend keeping 1/4" connector on when not in use
Audio Technica	ATH-AD700	Over-ear	Open	32 Ohm	$99	ackthet	Postrock, classical, downtempo, electronic	Be wary of malleable 1/8" connector
Grado	SR-60i	On-ear	Open	32 Ohm	$79	mutantmonkey
Sennheiser	HD448 (now HD449)	Over-ear	Closed	32 Ohm	$120	Matt		Casing is plastic and somewhat flimsy
Sennheiser	HD202	On-ear	Open	32 Ohm	$26	Matt		Great sound for the price, but the cable will eventually break, so you'll need to solder-on a new one
Sennheiser	HD280 pro	Over-ear	Closed	64 ohm	$100	Matt		Very durable (compared to 202s). Extreme frequencies are not produced well. Recommended for broadcasting but not personal use.

Brand	Model	Max Power	Self-powered?	Price	Recommended By	Notes
KRK	Rokit 6			$399
M-Audio	AV-40			$144.71
