Thank you to everyone for the many helpful posts one Head-Fi. I have been doing a lot of reading trying to find something that would best fit my needs.
I listen to music a lot at work (mostly from my laptop or smartphone and usually through Pandora or mp3s). My listening is 75% female (Feist, Lenka, Lilly Allen, Eliza Dolittle, etc.) vocal-centric songs and 25% hip hop/rap (big difference between the two).
I purchased the KNs-8400s and found them too neutral, not loud enough for me driving them just from the phone, and lacking in bass response.
I am leaning toward a closed ear design and need to focus on comfort as well.
Based on my reading, I have narrowed it down to Piaton MS 400 ($170), Ultrasone 780 ($160), and the Audio Technica ATH-PRO700MK2 or M50 ($150).
Any help is apprieciated
