recommended headphones?

[Brian Karlsen <B.Karlsen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear AUDITORY list members,

I would like some advice on which headphones to purchase. Our auditory
lab basically needs some state-of-the-art headphones for making
psychoacoustic experiments with. Needless to say, our funds are not
unlimited, but a fair sum would be available for this purchase.
I am aware of the thread of emails which ran on the list in late 1995/
early 1996 about Sennheiser's HD414, but this model is no longer
available as far as I know. So if you have any good experiences with a
particular model that you would like to recommend, I would greatly
appreciate hearing from you.

Cheers
  Brian
