Hi all, I know there are similar threads, but none have given me a clear indication of what to go for for my needs !
Those needs are:
Budget £150, but can go to a max of £200 if the "cans" really justify it.
Primarily will be used on my NAD C368 Amp, but may occasionally get used on the Pioneer A109 and PC (for music listening only).
Need to be comfortable for 3-4 hour sessions.
A earphone cushioning that doesn't make me too sweaty in warm weather
I like a sound a little on the warm side of neutral, with good detail, nice stereo staging, decent punch in the base and crispness in the treble (without being too harsh).
I listen to a fairly wide spectrum of rock and pop, from the likes of Abba to Metallica.
At the moment I have a short-list of:
Beyerdynamic DT770 pro - (no idea what ohms version is best for my needs?)
Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b
Sennheiser HD599 (although some reviews indicate these are a little laid back and unexciting ?)
Sony MDR 7506/1
Edifier H840 (good reviews but can they really compete with headphones like those listed above ?)
Any picks from the above stand out, or alternative suggestions ?
Thanks
