+1 to the Shure rec

I use Shure 840s with a mini headphone amp/DAC and they sound incredible.

What's the the concensus on Bang & Olufsen? Was very impressed by their boutique here, but who knows...Looking to up my headphone game

I don't know much about audio equipment, but I've had good experiences buying electronic stuff off Wirecutter's recommendations

Nice design and good quality, but the sound isn't any better than a pair of Beyerdynamics retailing for 50% less.

Beyerdynamics are amazing for the price

B&O have the nicest looking equipment, at a very premium price with average performance.

here, this is probably the best bang for your buck

I have these or another pair of Shure that is very similar and audio technica M50x, totally fine with both. I'm sure you can pay more for closed headphones but it is useless in 99% of cases. I think you'd know if it wasn't in your case due to your complex setup and high quality recordings.

Everyone else around you strongly disagrees.

I use in-ear shures when walking around and the AT at home...

Why is siki Im so hard to find? He's never really been in many shops but sometimes it seems like he doesn't even put anything out at all some seasons.

They look great. The performance is mediocre. I think that they are the Hugo Boss of audio equipment, though the analogy is far from perfect.

I personally like Sennheisers and I'm really in love with V-Moda right now. The Crossfade M-100s are very clear for a broad range (http://v-moda.com/crossfade-m-100/), but honestly, the LP2 work just as well, at least for me: http://v-moda.com/crossfade-lp2-matte-black-metal/ You can totally nerd them out as well, but I mean, do you want to? (fwiw, I got my son a pair, with like, initialized shields, but it's super nerdy.)

The trendiest and best looking headphoens that I've seen in a minute are Master and Dynamic: http://www.masterdynamic.com/ Every tragically hip boutique, from Colette to Fred Segal, are carrying their stuff. I've only had a chance to try them out once, and the sound was good. But they look pretty awesome, and the clean aesthetic will match your version of Margiela well. (0)

Girls I know have made a list of what I and other guys are not supposed to wear, even busy people tend to free time when it is to be spent bitching.

Can I see this list? Also I'd like to get monthly subscriptions to the Fuumawisdom newsletter please.
