That reminds me... Back when I was in the Navy, I had some nice headphones that Sony made. They were a closed earpiece design and were a definite improvement over the foam-pad jobbers that came with my CD player. MX-(some number) that had a nice sound to them for just under $30. Also they folded up nice for storage in a cramped locker. However, they got stolen and I couldn't get the same model anymore. The newer one that came after it (MDX-120?) didn't have the same sound quality. Thus I got Koss UR-30 headphones (also a folding model) at the NEX, and I still have them today. They're not bad for about $20 - probably not comparable to your $$$ stuff. However my hearing's half shot anyways - so I'm not likely to notice all the subtle stuff (so why spend the $?) It probably has something to do with having ear infections as a kid, listening to music too loud, not to mention living on an aircraft carrier for a few years (sure they had hearing protection, but it gets awfully uncomfortable when sweaty - not to mention I also stayed in a berthing under the catapults for a good while. Heheh...)
