... I sort of like that stuff ...

Inlander:
Don't misunderstand me. I'm not talking about being able to hear finger squeaking on strings, or singers breathing. I'm talking about being able to hear people blowing their noses off-mic and annoying little buzzes in poorly made instruments and strings vibrating against each other in unpleasant ways. There are a million and one tiny, tiny little ambient sounds that aren't picked up by standard headphones, that will be picked up by incredibly expensive top-of-the-line headphones. Stuff that will only detract from the listening experience.
greenMonkey:
I actually love that little stuff. I have a pair of Bose TriPort headphones, I love them, but they were fucking expensive, and you can definitely find good headphones at a much better value.
thelightguy:
Those triport headphones are awesome... I keep meaning to buy a pair, but then, with my iPod, it's useless as everything's already so compressed. Damn 128kbps AAC... I wish FLAC was supported (and had a better compression ratio)

BE WARY OF SENNHEISERS! They are very good at isolation, but not the best for accurate sound. If you want the closest to a flat and accurate response across the board, I suggest either the:
AKG K240 M (which are just under 100$)
or
SONY MDR-V150 (which are about 30$)
both have accurate sound, the AKGs are better but more pricy.
The Audio-technica ATH-M40fs are also decent at about $100, but not as good as the AKGs.
