Anyone know what closed cans would be closest to Ety HF5(and ER4P)? A bit more mid forwardness wouldn't hurt though, I boost 3dB@1k on my HF5.

I'm looking at Fostex T50RP and Beyer DT250-250Ohm. Anyone used these as well as Ety's?

About 150 USD. I listen to a pretty wide range of music Rock, jazz some classical, 1960s to current recordings. I'm sure I'd like HD600 and K240DF but need closed right now for tracking, monitoring etc.

Some on the Shure headphones are great, and the Denon AH-2000's are good.

If you're not adverse to using an equalizer, the KRK KNS 6400 is an excellent choice for micro-detail and monitoring purposes, and is fully closed. They just significantly lack bass, so you'll have to boost more to them. Only about $80-90 new. They're a bit closer to the HF5 sound than the T50RP (having used all three), though the T50RP are an excellent mid-centric choice, or if you're a modder.
