Searching headphones around 200€ for music listening
Hello everyone, It's been a few weeks since I bought my first "audiophile" headphones by buying the sennheiser 569, sadly after trying more every days, these headphones are not comfortable for me and I will return them. In 1-2 hours they have a tendency to put a pressure on the side of my jaw, that's why I'm now searching for more comfortable headphones that I could use for 7-8 hours long without fatigue. My budget is 200€, I also would prefer have a closed back because I will use them a bit everywhere, in vacations, and at home. My sennheiser had a good sound signature for me tho, maybe a bit flat in the mids but otherwise I liked the sound of it. I would say I'm not really a bass-head nor a v-shaped person, I like having a bit flat sound, but without having the mids that goes silent in comparison of the high. I looked all over internet and I can't really find something, I've seen beyerdynamic like 880 or 990 but I need a closed-back so, not for me, I've also heard of momentum 4, but I have heard some concerns and problems with the way it's built. From the side of sony I've only found the ULT Wear, the xm4 and xm5 but they seems fragile from what I've heard. I can't really try in a shop close to me because they have literally nothing, (except gaming headphones) so I need to buy them online on amazon. I would prefer wired or hybrid (bluetooth but with a cable) headphones and I don't really mind on-ear earpads.
(Sorry for my english, it is not my native language)
Thank you.
