I am very new to the whole headphone world and up in till now have been using a pair of Skullcandy Titans (which aren't the worst pair I ever had but they're not the greatest). I recently came in to a little money and am looking at the Sennheiser HD 251 IIs. I searched for them online and hear nothing about great things about them. Overall sound quality would be the most important to me. I listen to Rock and Broadway (very different, I know) a lot and very little to no pop/rap/country etc. Are these headphones a good choice? If not, do you have any other recommendations? I would like to stick with either Sennheiser or Bose since I know people who are familiar with them. And can I use these with an itouch and a Macbook air?

They're good, and if you want to stick to Sennheiser, then they're the obvious choice for you. You should however check out the Amperiors or Momentum. I've heard neither, but they seem to be getting some good reviews.

Also, if you can, please audition them all before making any decision.
