Looking to upgrade from my current pair: Denon D1001. I know closed aren't preferable for classical, but I need to keep them closed to block external noises. I use them mostly out of my MacBook listening to lossless files or streaming from MOG.
So far, I've been thinking about the following:
Audio Technica A900x
SoundMagic HP100
Beyerdynamic DT660
Are any of these preferable for classical over the others? I know there was a big review stating the DT660s were the best for classical, but how do they compare to the other two? I'm a little hesitant with the A900x due to possible comfort/fit issues - I wouldn't be able to try before I buy.
I listen to all kinds of orchestral music, but my preferences are Mahler, Bruckner, Wagner, Brahms, Strauss, etc. So, the headphones need to be able to handle the full gamut.
Thoughts? Or recommendations for a different closed can? $200 is my limit.
Thanks!
