I need to get some high quality isolation headphones. Ideally they will have good quality sound so I can use them for some editing before mixing in monitors (or should this always be done with monitors?)

I am looking at these:
Direct Sound Extreme Isolation

Metrophones
service.bfast.com/bfast/c...mp;bfmtype=gear

Anyone tried these?

Forget it guys. I guess there are no night owls over there in the US. I got impatient and went ahead and bought the extreme isolations from musicans friend of course. Read some good reviews and were a bit cheaper. I hate sound bleeding and these guys looked like they put some zen into their product so carpe diem. Going to get a different pair for doing the editing and sound testing that focus on detailed sound and not necessarily isolation. Any recomendations?

The only thing I do in headphones (besides tracking) is very detailed ninja editing... yes more detailed than regular ninja editing :) like if I can't rerecord a vocal track and I have to repair a few dropped samples in a syllable that isn't repeated by cutting and pasteing the 1 or 2 cycles of wave in the part of the syllable that did record properly.... so not stuff I do very often....

essentially hunting for pops that my monitors can't react to.
