Recs for new/old headphones

Discussion

Hey all.

I’m in the market for a new pair of headphones after giving up on my DT 770 Pros, which I find too clinical and unforgiving.

Any good recommendations, ideally for an old vintage pair? Predominantly in use for turntable listening. Open/closed back are both fine.

My setup:

- Yamaha A-S3000

- Thorens TD 160 Super

- SME Series III

- Ortofon Black

Listening mostly to jazz, soul and funk.
