I use a pair of grado 225s with a headroom micro DAC and micro amp for home listening, but I need closed headphones to use when I'm out, with my iPod. Portability isn't an issue because I usually walk around with headphones dangling down my neck (yeah I'm one of those people), but I'm not interested in buying a small amp to attach to my Ipod, so I need closed headphones that sound good unamped. I'm looking at the Sennheiser 280pro, but I don't know if they sound good without an amplifier.

Can't say I've ever tried 280pro's but I have used a lot of their HD series. The HD280's sound fantastic even without an amp and they're closed headphones. You might wanna take a look into them.
