This is a good article but it kind of needs updating. There are not plenty more better headphones like the Sennheiser Momentum or for me itâ€™s now the KEF M500. http://www.custom-cable.co.uk/kef-m500-headphones.html

There is a canal earphone set that you could look at. They have been referred to as the best headphones in existence. I like having a pair of the top reference monitors in your ears and properly inserted, they provide better base than most large speakers. But their placement is not liked by all. I have them and love them. I forget they are in my ears. They are the Entymotic Er4s. I paid around 300 I think. They will go for less. They have some new models. Amazingly accurate and clear. Cut out most background noise so you hear everything!

Sennheiser PX100 breaks too easily, wires flimsy. Sound is a bit brittle in the top range, but sweet overall like all Senn.s.
Grados sound great but are all uncomfortable. Not sure if they can be powered by an iPad.
Koss PortaPro is superb with an iPad. Sound is loud and excellent, and it is resilient enough not to break too easily from portable use and is fully warranteed if it does break.

If you don’t need an earbud/earcanal phone, go with PortaPro.

Where’s the electrostatics?

If we’re going into LCD-2 or HD800 territory, that kind of budget can certainly buy a Stax system or a Koss ESP/950. Just another option to consider…

I have the Grado sr80i and it is a step above the 60 and with a good portable headphone amp like the Fiio E5 they totally blow my mind with my sansa player and is now a permanent part of my school bag necessities. the highs are detailed but smooth, the bass is tight and not boomy like some of the headphones out there and the mids are Grado awesome.

Using Beyerdynamic DT990 for 20 years!! I can speak in supelatives only! I am using a pair of Philips earbuds for iPad, but Beyerdynamics rules! Needles to say that they are still being produced.
