Best Closed Headphones Between £100 and £160

[admin_exported]

Want to get some headphones to go with my beresford DAC and was wondering what CLOSED headphones would be the best at this price. I listen to a veriaty of stuff but things like death cab for cutie, coldplay, RHCP, Led Zeppelin, BRMC, Mutemath. I need them closed as i will be using them at Uni which aint quiet!

I have been looking at the

Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, 80 ohm
and
Audio-Technica ATH-A700

I asked a question about headphones a few weeks ago, specifically CLOSED and the recommendations I got from that was to go for the Alessandro MS1 headphones. Apparently they are Grados but tweaked.

I have the DT770PROs and a pair of Sennheiser HD595. The Beyers are better in every way. Truly superb headphones and excellent value for money. The pads cut out external sound very well as well.

Yeah... those alessandro ms1's [like their grado counterparts] are super-open...

Beyerdynamic's are generally well thought of, I quite enjoy my portable dt235's [closed], but ive never investigated anything <£50 from their range (or any AT's)...

Audition them?

Also try the Ultrasone HFI780 and the AKG K701, though I'm not sure on reflection if these aren't in fact open.
