 | For home listening. I don't want to hear anything else than the music and
 there's a lot of street noise where I live. I don't
 especially want to blast the music very loud, so I want
 quality at low volumes and at louder volumes if possible.
 I want them to be quite comfortable (consider that I wear
 glasses).
 
 What do you advise ?
 
 I already have sennheiser HD-437, which were very cheap. the
 sound quality is not very good and I can hear the
 surrounding noise as if I didn't wear them ! Anyway it is a
 good quality/price ratio imo.

 | I've had the worst luck with headphones this past week. My current best (and loudest) lost sound in one ear due to an
 accidental tug, my next pair got hooked to a door hinge and
 ripped the cord apart, and now I'm using airplane
 headphones.

 | you can buy headphones that actually record noise and playback the reverse frequency in real time so you can't
 hear anything. (i hav't come across any that play music
 aswell though) these are $100AU for the cheapest model, and
 i;ve seen them for upto $700

 | at least comparable, I would say that slightly better and more comfortable for sure. the 770's are very very good in
 terms of isolation from the surroundings and are often used
 by drummers in recording studios.

 have a problem since it will not block out any sound.
