ive been trying to choose between the akg 44 and akg 77.
on amazon the akg 44 is 30US$ and akg 77 are just now on sale 35$.
Ive been thinking about getting the akg 77 since their on sale and about the same price as the akg 44. I have read the spec sheet/ reviews for them both and it seems that they are acoustically similar however reviews say good things about the akg 44 sound isolation but not so well for the akg 77. There both OVER-EAR, SEMI-CLOSED if I'm correct. Sound isolation is important in my circumstance.

The akg 77 is more solid and in my experience, all around better headphones.

Why wont you opt for other brands ? Like Skullcandy, Razer, Sennheiser, Bose, JBL ?
Please widen your options.

Panasonic RP-HTF600s. I own a pair of these and the sound is fantastic for the price. They can isolate sound well, but do have bad sound leakage since they are semi open.

do you have any specifics in mind

also the panasonic rp seems like a good choice however ill be in public and so the sound leakage would be a problem.

by the way how do you know if headphones need batteries or not. Ive been looking at the specs of some headphones and it doesnt show whether they need batteries.

Unless they are wireless,use batteries for sound cancelling, or specifically state that they use batteries for whatever reason, they will not need batteries.
