Thanks.


If you really want an open headphone, the Koss Portapro is perfect for you, but I would definitely go with an IEM instead. For moving around an being in public, IEMs are the best. If you want an IEM, look at the Xeport 5010 (if you can get it in the UK), SOny XB41EX, JVC FX1X, Soundmagic E10, and the a-Jays Three.

Yeah, but I figured that they're not as luggable, but then again, the Editions can't fold.

The Edition 9 would be better than the 8 in bass, if one can find one. I've missed basically everything about the Signature Pro other than what Muppet Face said. Are they worth taking a look at?

Your budget (make sure you tell me what currency!) $10-$50

Which genres you'll be listening to. Dubstep

What kind you want (over-ear, on-ear, in-ear, no preference, etc.) and whether you want portability. Over Ear and portablity

Whether you want open or closed headphones (Explained below). Closed

What you are listening from (iPod, phone, desktop computer, laptop, console, turntable, etc.). Laptop or phone

Sony XB500, but if they aren't portable enough for you, the AKG K518.

Apparently they are like an improved PRO900, according to some people. Here is another review I found.

$10,000 Should be good enough for him. Kind of hard to go over that anyways.

Signature Pro/Edition 9/JH16 -> DX100 + SR-71B?

Alright then. If you want portable headphones, the JH Audio JH16 Pro is, to my knowledge, the best custom IEM in the world. Parall3l or Ishcabible, correct me if I'm wrong. If you want portable full-size cans, the Ultrasone Signature Pro is the best I can think of. They should be even better than the Edition 8 for portable use.

You'll also want some more hardware to REALLY get the most out of these. (Honestly, if you have that much money, you could get both the Sig Pros and the JH16.) I'd go with a Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo with a Ray Samuels Audio SR-71B or ALO Audio RX Mk III. You could get fancy snake oil, but that's what they are. Snake oil. They do not affect sound quality, although people will assert that they do. It's all in their heads. Coat hangers sound the same as uber-high-end cables. Stick with the stock stuff.

I don't have too much time right now, but to get this setup, there are some other things you'll want to take into consideration.
