Audio Technias ATH-M50s. Have these for almost a year now, good for price and how it feels.
Oh hey, I keep meaning to get those for studio use. How well do they isolate and do they feel sturdy enough? My AD700s are getting a bit janky and I've only had them for a couple of years.
The isolation with the stock earpads (which I found insufferable in the summer) is good enough for its price, imo. I was rather pleased with its build as well, they felt like they could take quite a beating before giving in.
Clamp was too much for me though (made worse by the fact that I am bespectacled), even after frequent use and despite my head being average-smallish in size.
With all being said and done though, maybe it is just me being a fan of open cans but I'd take those AD700s (or better yet, the 900s) over the M50s anyday. Oh the soundstage.
