B&O H6, H7 or another one?

Hi

I am currently looking for at set of headphones.

I will mostly be using them at the office with my Iphone or sometimes my laptop. Therefore they cannot leak too much sound.

Musical preferences Indie, americana and Classical.

My shortlist is:
B&O H7
B&O H6 2nd gen
Sennheiser Momentum 2

So far I have tried out B&O H7 and B&W P7. I was really impressed by H7, which was not originally on my list. The P7 I did not like that much.

As I do not need wireless, I think H6 might be a good option as it is cheaper than H7. Also considering Momentum because of great reviews but I cannot find a shop nearby where I can listen to them.

The Momentums (new) and H6 (used) are about the same price £140-150 and the H7 (used) £200.

Also found the H7 and P7 very comfortable. I tried Sennheiser PXC 550 and did not find them as comfortable as H7, but dont know how design is compared to Momentum.

So I would appreciate any advice - thanks.

I would personally add the Meze 99 Classics to your list were I you. Maybe read about it and see what you think. It could work. Not sure what your budget is--it might be out of budget new. Maybe you could find one used.

The H6 is a great headphone, but IIRC they've been recently discontinued, and they have proprietary pads with an oddball bayonet mount attachment system. So you may have trouble down the road if your pads wear out and you need to replace them.

I have been reading a bit about these now - and they seem to be great. Also I see Meze Neo is on sale - do you have any experience with those?

Yes. Still a fun headphone but with completely different construction. I think they are cool-looking. They sound terrific and are well-made.

Thanks - I ended up with a pair of Audio Technica ATH-MSR7, as I found them on sale. And I must say that I really like them so far.
