I'll second the headphones rep. But, the Grados (which sound amazing
pluged into anything) and the Sennheisers they sell are open ear
(but, you can see LTJ Bukem using them), so you may want to check out
there new studio, closed, headphones which will put you at the $100
level, but, they'll certainly be worth it.
