closed and a brilliant gaming, movie and bass driven headphone
80 pounds
roger that.
i picked some up for my birthday. theyre superb. i can wear them all day which is great. ( i have a few piercings which are never affected by them too )
they have good isolation too. i use them when im painting in the garage and they block out the noise form my compressor. which is huge lol.
appart from all that they really do ahve to be heard to be believed.
i found out abot them fromt he head-fi forums. enough said thb !
the grados i hear are very nice but are very unfomfortable and dont have the sound stage needed for gaming. major minus

just noticed you wanted a good sounding surround sound effect too.
if you have an X-fi the CMSS:3d is awsome IMO. but SUCKS for music lol
theres a demo video of it on the net sumwhere.
enjoy the cans. you will love em

good to hear you have chosen wisely... you did order the 80 ohm version ?
I found them a bit tight for a fit at first, I found that streching them across a book over night for about 4 days reduced the clamping force so are more comfy
I also invested in a portable headphone amp, which nicely enhanced playback from dap's

I got the 250Ohm Version, but nevertheless they sound amazing.
What is the difference if you know what I mean?
grados are not typically recognised as a gamers headphone
typically they are good for rock and types of music that benefit from a bright sounding presentation
all depends on the types of music you are listening to
the grados are not closed, and the OP specifically wanted isolation
so I don't know why you are recommending the grado ?
plus your post isn't terribly helpful by just saying 'better' and by posting a big picture?? I can only assume you mean they look better ??
