HI
I need your advice on buying new portable headphones(not buds) for electronic/club/trance music. 3 years ago I picked up the AKG K26P headphones and was mad in love. I loved most the
1. fulfilling bass,
2. up front and direct sound, never felt like pushing them against my ear, they pressed well on my head, and didn't have a huge piece of foam in-between.
3. closed back, so I don't worry about annoying all people around me, and I don't hear them,
4. the small size and foldable design, I don't like huge boxes on the sides of my head.
So when they recently broke down, I wanted to buy them again, but they were no longer in production and were replaced with the newer AKG 400's. so I went ahead and bought the best one, the K 450. unfortunately they didn't fit on my head!! when I compared them the K26P, they have been significantly shortened, I usually wear the K26P on full extension.
I did go through the threads of this site for 2 hours, and at the end it felt like its gona be a grado 80's, but after googling some images, they seem a bit too big for portable use, and don't look foldable, because i usually throw them in the backpack.
So please I would appreciate your advice on what to purchase, maybe you know something with the properties am looking for.
Thank you.
