So im currently looking at replacing my sennheiser hd 201 due to their lack of portability and a few flaws in the sound department.
The things im looking for are:
-collapsible design (very important)
-excellent sound quality (very important)
-either nc or closed back (maybe semi-open but definitely no open headphones)
-if possible not too big however i am flexible
-no IEM (or earbuds or plugs etc.)
Budget is around $100 but up to about 150 is fine.
So far ive found the following:
-ATH-M50 (my current top choice, ive read alot about them both on and off this forum)
-The NC series from Sennheiser (pxc 200 upwards)
-Sennheiser hd 280 (similar to ath-m50 but I think sound is worse)
-Sennheiser hd 25sp (unfortunately they have no collapsible design, still portable though)
-Shure 750 DJ and srh440 (im not sure how good these actually are)
I would appreciate feedback on the ones ive chosen and I would also like to ask about some other headphones that I know little about: (feel free to post other great headphones)
-the entire AKG brand (specifically the k450)
-are there any Grado with collapsible design?
-any portable beyerdynamic headphones?
-are nc headphones worth it? (especially sennheisers)
Overall is there really anything in my budget that outclasses the ATH-M50s?
Thanks for your help!
