| 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 |

| 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 |
