Are there any other closed back portable headphones on the same par as these that anyone here recommends?
Meze 99 Classic get really close in terms of SQ. When I had an occasion to compare them directely, H6 were better, but I had to listen really carefully to nuances.
They also have nice build quality but the golden trim may not be everyones cup of tea.
I was going to suggest the Meze 99 Neo. Black with silver trim. I love mine... more than my H6. It is comfortable and light enough to wear as an over ear portable but some people might not be brave enough to wear it outside. I probably wouldn't but I have smaller on ears that work for me for that... or IEMS.
I also have a Koss Pro4s that would do the job. In fact, I might actually try mine for that. I love it... again... maybe more than the H6... but I do love my H6 as well...lol. Too many choices.
I do actually prefer the sound of the Neo over the Classic. My husband has the Classic so I have compared. I would not want to take the Classic outside anyway because of the wood. The Neo is the same build quality and style but instead of the wood the cup is a high quality matt black plastic,
