Good sound isolation for under $200

gadgetguy99

I have recently moved and have unfortunately found that my new neighbors tend to be extremely noisy while I am trying to relax and listen to music or play counterstrike. Does anyone have a recommendation for a pair of headphones with good sound isolation I saw the dt770 pro has 32db, is anything a better option for long term comfort?

Big Thick Blanets you can pick up from Swap Meets and throw into the big washers at a laundry mat

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Yeah they are pretty good on isolation and comfort is okay imo..

Yup, DT 770s are good. They're a good compromise between comfort, isolation and sound. Just get'em. 

 

If you want great isolation and decent sound around $100 also consider the Sony MDR 7506 or the Sennheiser HD 280 pro (the isolation is huge on these ones).

I tried the NAD HP50 and I must say they isolate very well, IMO better than the DT770s. I highly recommend trying them before buying, since they are fairly warm with a smooth relaxed treble, but the DT770s are also damn good for the price.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...
