Looking for Non-isolating earphone recommendations, as I can't afford to not hear my boss. Willing to spend up to a million pounds.
Got a tip for us?

Umm... Okay. If you are willing to spend anything how about some Grado PS1000s, I love them.
Alternatively you can get a pair of Shure SE530s and the Shure PTH.

Well, there's definitely a huge premium on them. What kind of amp/DAC do you use with them?

LOL! That cracked me up!
I have no clue what either thing is - but i can relate to the, "not taking THAT to college" list 😀

I'm not familiar with the amp, but a quick check on google shows you probably used your Grados well. 😛 Always nice to see someone with taste. 😀

In all seriousness if the OP is looking for a quality, budget, bud style, non-isolating headphone the best bang for the buck is probably:

I would recommend the Grado SR60i. It is often talked about as the gateway drug to the high-end headphone world. Wonderful headphones and they are open, which means you can hear the outside world. Here's a link to a great headphone store: http://www.headphone.com/guide/by-manufacturer/grado/grado-sr-60i.php

I have some beyer DT331 which are over the ear open backed headphones. You can hear a lot with them on. Beyer do more expensive versions too. Lovely headphones.
