Hello all, Looking for balanced and detailed with good sound stage headphones. I understand sound is subjective, but where i come from i.e., India, there is no way to demo anything as there are no hi-fi shops. Only few stores that sell from Mumbai or other places. Either we buy and then keep it whether we like it or otherwise unless there is a problem in the product.
Hence need your suggestions pls!!
My usecase - 50% music and 50% movies. Strictly wireless and BT. I have considerably large ears as my PX7 was comfortable but barely just covered my ears inside the cups. Had to adjust them now and then. Hence ear cups needs to be at-least PX7 size.
Also ANC is not that vital for me as its mostly for home use. Music listening when i go for a walk or working, and movies at night so that I don't disturb my folks.
Earlier i used to have B&W PX7 but they broke within 6 months, probably due to some fall or other impact or so, am not sure as my 3 yr old daughter took them at that time! Reached out to them but in vain as its a physical damage as claimed. Having said that, i found them great for movies rather than music, as for music, i had to turn up the volume to enjoy its fullness and it wouldn't give me that thump or fun at lower or regular volumes. I also found its music was a tad brighter for me, with higher bass than I could bear. But the sound was fun and exciting!
Currently - am looking out of below options - Focal Bathys, B&W PX7S2e, Audio Technicia ATH-M50xBT, Momentum 4. I almost ordered Bathys as I very much liked their design and also rave reviews, but getting stuck as i haven't heard them and wasn't sure about the movies use case. Big NO to Airpods Max as of now as newer version is expected next year or so and its very expensive, almost equal to Bathys in India.
Not considering XM5 as their earcups are horribly small for me and my ears pop on them! But, it would have been a great deal for my money and value.
