Ok as stated in title I have a budget of around £180 to buy new headphones. All of my headphone experience is mainly IEMs. Currently using either Phonak 232 or AKG K3003.
My only real experience of full size headphones are my Shure 440, I like them but would like to go up a level or 2.
My source will be mainly an Ibasso DX100 playing a mixture of music but mainly indie/alternative guitar based. Will also use through gaming laptop for games. I don't want headphones that require an amp.
So far I think I've narrowed it down to either one of the following - AKG K550, Soundmagic HP100 or the German Maestro 8.35d. On the fringe are 2nd options of B + W P3 or P5 or the Sennheiser Momentum.
Looking for advice from anybody who's had a chance to compare any of these models.
