I have the Beyerdynamic DT440, they are an open design, have a neutral sound with a frequency of 30,000Hz, comfortable to ware for long periods of time, and there is no need for a headphone amplifier.

No sorry, these are the first expensive headphones that I have purchased. The only reason I got them was because my Plantronics set gave in on me, so I thought I would look at some of the more expensive ones on the market.

I just purchased Sony MDR-EX51LP in-ear and they're awesome!! Way better than the iPod earphones.

Yes, it should be a HUGE improvement from iPod earbuds.

And even as it burns in, it's gonna sound better.

While personally I don't like the ex51/71, I really like the ex81.

There's no difference in sound quality between ex51 and ex71 -_-'' yet it's $20 CAD difference, just for the longer wire? chrome? and a friggin case? Give me a break.

I just read a review of the Sony EX81's that begs to differ: http://www.wyattsays.com/

Yup, they use the same drivers. EX71 comes with a different outer design and an extension cord, that's it.

I looked around at some places and got a choice of some noise canceling headphones. I'm leaning tword the Philips HN110, they seem to be the best, but I wanted to ask of your opinions. Okay so here are the choices:

Philips HN110 - $60

RCA HPNC200 - $50

Sony - $50

You guys would know better than me. Thanks :)

The RCA and Sony's seem like they suck and wouldn't work.

Oh the new ex51s are supposed to have ex81 drivers from now on I think.
