I've had these cans for quite a few years for now, and they are one of the best I've had, because they fit what an ideal pair of headphones are for me: Closed, relatively flat response, and great soundstage that even proves to be competitive in FPS/general gaming.
But i've been thinking of making an upgrade from them, I've been lurking around, and I haven't found anything as reliable, either they have design issues/are uncomfortable, don't really isolate that much (AKG 550), are bassy (Beyerdynamics) or harsh, cheap/fragile (Shures), or aren't that much available (Denons); in the past I saw the Mad/Alpha Dogs as possible contenders, almost bought them, but Mr Speakers ceased making them, and now makes some cans, which are quite possible sublime, but for an amount of money which i'd rather use to buy a used car.
Budget is about 150-250 USD (maybe even 300, depending on reviews/experiences), and I will be driving them with my Fiio E07k (excellent DAC ime).
What does Hi-Fi suggests?
Regards.
