Hello everyone,
I just wanted to hear some opinions about which closed back would be a good pick, around the 100 €/$ mark.
I’m planning on getting a Fiio btr3k to serve as an amp/dac (in case some new suggestions required an amp to power).
From what I’ve seen so far, it’s between:

• ATH-M40x
• Yamaha HPH-MT5
• Sennheiser HD280PRO
• AKG K361

Other recommendations not on this list are also welcome of course

I already have a pair of DT990 Pro, but I was looking for a closed back that could be a more fun experience to listen to music.

My taste of music is pretty all-rounder (jazz, classical, hip hop, rock, indie, …)

Thanks

Although just over your budget, the Shure SRH840 will surely work best with your preferred genres, just also get the headband cover to add more comfort:

Also check out the Yamaha HPH-MT5W here:

If you buy these and feel that the stock ear pads are uncomfortable, then get these ear pads instead (they probably ship from HK):

If you buy these and need a shorter cable:

If you buy these and want to prevent the headband pleather from flaking:
