I picked up a pair of bang and olufsen h6 cans, and boy am I impressed! Still use my akg 240 studios, but they are semi open with a real long cord. The h6 is one of the few high end headphones that don't really need an amp to sound great. In fact my headroom total bithead dac doesn't really like their frequency, so would have to find something else. The short cord has been called cheap by some audiophiles, but it comes with a mic and taking calls with them are a dream for clarity. They've become my go to for just plugging in a phone, sticking it in my pocket and cleaning the house or whatever. Or just looking cool! They may even be more comfortable than my akgs!
