I need a pair to carry around with my laptop so I can work on my stuff when I'm not home. As long as they can fold or twist to some semblance of flatness they will do. I have an echo indigo i/o card that I'll be using for them. I don't have much experience with decent headphones, so I'd appreciate any suggestions from the people who do.

Thanks!
 
Headphones are pretty much portble no matter what.

Are you looking for isolation headphones? If so I'd get a pair of MoreMe's. They sound terrible in my opinion and have a low output, but are great for isolation/tracking.

Low output? Actually, they're pretty damn loud.

Can't argue about your other point though. They're suppose to sound terrible. ;)
 
I had a pair of my radio shack closed-ear 'phones hooked up to the echo i/o and the thing gets louder than I'll ever need it to, so I don't think volume will be an issue.

I know people who like these for travel. They do fold up rather well, and don't sound terrible to boot.

Thanks for the suggestion. The statement, "The upper treble response is definitely rolled-off in the highs for more demanding listeners," makes me a little wary, since I'll be doing mixing with them (not final mastering, but everything else - I spend too much time away from my toys at home).
 
Sony 7506. Not that mixing in headphones is a good idea but these are by far the best headphones I've ever used.
