I own the Audio Technica AT- ATH900 cans and use them primarily when traveling with my Ipod and Evanescu Amp. Much better detail and balance than my Senn HD 280 Pros, and not that much more geeky looking. My challenge is to identify a pair of headphones that are not too much more money, if at all, that gives me better mids and highs. My complaint with the ATs is that mids are recessed and laid back without the body I used to get listening to my now sold Grado SR-125s. This is most apparent with female vocalists. I like the forward detail of the Grados, but they miss the bass entirely and of course, they are not sealed. I also think the ATH-900 can stand some improvement on treble detail. Light and airly and extended as they are they miss the fullness of a real cymbal. I want to hear the brassy fullness of a real cymbal.
Any ideas for a sealed circumaural headphone that might fit the bill? I was thinking of trying to get a used pair of Beyers but heard about some QC issues mentioned here on some sealed pairs. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
