Hi everyone,
I am on a hunt after a good closed can and I could use some advice...
I hart draws me towards and AKG271S, but it seems no one has experience with the recabling of this phone and I can't go back from balanced operation, so this is a must.
As for my preferences I had a Sennheiser HD565 Ovation and a HD600 before (driven with solid state and tube amplification as well), but I did not liked the laid back presentation of the Sennheisers. I have a really old Beyerdynamic 880 which I quite like, but my favoured is for some time is 501. Once I got use to its uncolored mid presentation there was no turning back.
However, I badly need a closed headphone which I could use till things get quiet in the house.
What I would like to have in these phones:
- a lively presentation, I really do not want to fall asleep while hearing music
- good noise seal
- and if possible an airy presentation
- no extrem highs or bass
- no special connector like those mini XLRs on the K271S
Price range is about the price of the 271, but here in Hungary prices are very different, so first suggestions, then I look up where can I buy them for how much
Thanks...
