Question

Interested in specs, opinions regarding comfort, noise blocking characteristics, portability, weight, and reliability

Answer 1

I'm using the AKG 26P and love them. They work great on my ipod and don't look shabby at all. Tonally they're not terribly neutral but are perfect if you like lots of bass and warmth with your music. If you prefer a more neutral sound you might consider Sennheiser's PX100. I've a buddy who uses them and I've checked them out too, pretty nice sound and not bad looking at all too.
