Need headphones under $200 primarily for classical symphonic music

Some smaller ensemble pieces, like also jazz instrumentals and vocals, other types not as much.

 

Running them off a NAD integrated amplifier.

 

If they exist would like to keep cost closer to $100 to $125 pair.  Read good things about Senns 518/558/598s, AKG's, ATHs.  Have owned AT models not great fit for me.  Oh, definitely open or semi open not closed so that cuts out lots of models.  Like some Ultrasones I used to own the HFI 2400s, but theyre at top of my budget

Heya,

 

DT880 PRO (used)

DT990 PRO

AKG Q701 (used)

AKG K240 MKII

Denon D2000 (used)

Sennheiser HD598 (used)

The for sale forums, and amazon warehouse, generally have great deals on headphones that are pre-owned to get you the most headphone for your money.


Very best,

classical, symphonic, jazz,

Sounds to me like a used Q701 is your best bet
