Thank you! I actually did a test run of the 840s today and they were definitely one of the best in the ~$300 price range, but based purely from what I've heard I'm really liking the Sennheiser 600s as well. Really looking forward to testing them later this week

Hi guys, I'm new here Would just like to ask for some advice for what my new set of headphones should be. The problem is that I have a pretty difficult set of criteria - half the time I'll be using them as monitoring headphones for home mixing/recording use, so I need something with flat response, good separation and a nice wide soundstage. On the other hand I spend most of my time outdoors, so they should ideally also have a low enough impedence for an ipod, have not too many moving parts, be relatively light, be closed back or at least over-ear and comfortable for long-term use (though sound quality is paramount over all of these of course ). I have a price range of about $300-$500. Should I just get two pairs of headphones for indoor/outdoor use or is it possible to find something that can match (most) of these requirements? Thanks a lot for your help! Just to add, I've used a pair of px100s for 5 years and loved them, but they died recently and now it's time to move on
