I'm looking for some advice on a new pair of cans. I work in an open office environment, and need something that sounds good but also does a good job isolating me from the noise around me, and also isolates my music from my neighbors. I have a pair SE535s which I use at times, but I find it hard to keep them in for hours at a time. I also use a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s which isolate decently, but I don't love their sound.
In terms of my sound preferences, I have a pair of HD650s which I quite like. I also briefly had a pair of Denon D5ks which I thought sounded fantastic. (I purchased because I thought they'd provide isolation, but really didn't.) I listen to all types of music, from Eletronica to Pop to Instrumental. Not a lot of traditional classical stuff. My setup right now is a Headroom Micro DAC and a Little Dot II++ tube amp, so I don't need something geared towards a lower powered source. And portability isn't very important either as i'll be leaving the cans at work.
I'm currently considering the Beyerdynamic T5P or the Ultrasone 8s, but I'm open to any other suggestions that people might have.
Thanks!
