Hi all!
Hoping I might be able to call upon your combined wisdom to help in selecting some headphones. I've tried so many brands and I've never found the right pair. There are two simple issues I keep running up against. Size + Heat. I want a pair of over-ear headphones but no matter what type I've tried and regardless of pad type I get sweaty from them in a matter of minutes.
So, I've been thinking about getting a pair of second hand Stax Lambda Pros. My hope is that due to their size fit won't be an issue for me and as they're open backed things might stay a little cooler? Ive never uses open backed before so that might be complete rubbish.
My other concern is with the open back design itself. I know there will be sound leakage but how much should I expect? I'd only ever be using them at home but even still have others to consider.
Any help or advice you can offer here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
