Hello everyone,
I just wanted to ask if anybody could help me with choosing an alternative to the MSR7.
I have borrowed the MSR7 from a friend because I wanted to buy them, but there are a few things that I am not that happy about.
So I am looking for an alternative headphone in the same price range as the MSR7.
I have searched this forum and many others and found a few alternatives but I am still not sure which one to choose.
I found the earpads on the MSR7 to be quite small and really uncomfortable, I wear headphones 6-12 hours a day without any breaks.
I do not mind the clamping force but my ear just keeps pressing against the back of the earpad and also against the bump inside which is protecting the driver.
This was the main reason I decided to go for other options.
Uncomfortable headphones are a deal breaker to me.
I quite like the MSR7 sound, but it is just a touch too bright and thin sounding for my taste.
So I was wondering if any of you can recommend me any other closed back headphone (does not matter if portable or not, it just has to be closed), that has similar sound to the MSR7 but just a bit warmer sounding if possible?
The alternatives I have found are:
Sony MDR-1AM2 (Watched a few comparisons of the MDR-1A with the MSR7 and most of them recommended the MSR7 instead, dont know about this new version though)
Beyerdynamic DT 770 (I fear these might be too bass heavy for me)
AKG K 550 MKIII (I think that these would be the most comfortable, but I have heard some negative feedback on the sound)
NAD Viso HP50 (I fear that the sound would be too relaxed
)
What are your thoughts?
Thank you for any suggestions.
