You can find Sennheiser HD600,s for as low as $299.00. I just purchased Sennheiser HD580's for $169.00 from Music Direct. They sound almost as nice as HD600,s. Web address, amusicdirect.com

Somewhat agressive, but that can be overcome with flat pads for $30. The Senns have a darker sound. More nuetral - somewhat veiled detail. That can be overcome by getting the right amp, replacing the cable, etc. Best piano reproduction headphone I've heard. Better soundstage.
