Hello,
I've long been looking for a new open or half-open headphone. The AKG 702, Beyerdynamic 880 don't do it for me (though the latter comes close to being good enough). Sennheiser is what I've had more or less all my life and it generally doesn't do it for me either. Philips is kind of "meh". Shure 1440 and Audio Technica R70x also (the former is "awesome" but very, very bright). Fostex T50RP I found too dry, unmusical. I don't know about the T20RP, but it's supposedly less neutral.
Well, it's difficult, isn't it?
Do you still have any special suggestions?
(Edit: Forget "crisp", it doesn't add anything, it just makes it seem more cold overall than the natural, balanced sound that is actually wanted. I only had read about "crisp" a moment ago in contrast to something which was lacking highs. Also, don't bother too much about the currency, usually it's comparable.)
