getting ready for a new pair of headphones...

right now i have audio technica ath-m40fs. i can't seem to find much info on them, much less any comparisons...

i really like them, but i think i'm getting ready to move on up. mainly because i want something a little more comfortable for extended work. on these phones, the cord always seem to be in the way. the cushion on the cups sit right on my ear, and after a couple of hours, my ears start to hurt from being smooshed against my head by my phones.

i pretty much used these phones for everything. just plain ol' hearing music, dj'ing at home, gigs here and there, and writing music. -so i want something that sounds pretty flat.

in a nutshell, i'm looking for something that can be considered studio-quality, and double as dj headphones like the AT's but w/better ergonomics.

some of my opionions on stuff i have tried in the past:

senhiesers -some seemed kinda gutless, and other times, i just didn't like the way they sounded compared to AT's.

sony - i hate them all.

pioneer - i checked out these dj ones, this one time... i don't remember what model exactly. too colored, the highs where all up in my face, and i wasn't digging it, not even for plain ol' dj'ing, much less for writing music.

technics - some silver ones. i liked the cord, and how it was detachable, and i wasn't getting all tangled up in them. i was pretty cool w/the way they sounded, but didn't get the chance to compare w/the AT's side by side. but holy fuck those things were ugly. i found them so repulsive, that i almost refused to consider listening to them. i don't think i can stand looking at these thing s day in and day out.

any ideas? other brands/models? i willing to go up to about $250 tops.

actually, i did some searching... but mostly by punching the model i have, here and other places. i was hoping i could find something where some tried these, and then something else.

i saw the sticky. i'm still sifting thru the thread...

you are generalizing way too much.

all sonys dont sound the same

all sennheisers dont sound the same.

i hate all sony headphones except the mdr v7506. great headphones for the price ($100). the 500/600/700 suck IMHO.

if you can spend that much on headphones, buy the sennheiser HD-25s. they will cost you around $200 but concensus is that they are probably the best pair of headphones on the market right now, for your purpose.
