Im looking for some input on a closed back headphone to compliment my AD900s. A little background - I work in an office and share it with a co-worker every other week. So one week there's 2 of us and one week I have the office to myself. So I can use the AD900s, which I enjoy while he's gone, but I need something that doesn't have much sound leakage (Im not worried about isolation). Id also like something that sounds different - read stronger bass (quality and quantity) and more fun. Price range 200-250.
My plan is to listen mainly to jazz, classical, blues and some rock with the AD900s and switch it up with hip/hop, dub, rock with the new closed cans. I've read reviews on the usual suspects - DT770, D2000, M50, Ultrasones, etc. Some reviews highlight sibilance in the Beyers and Denons which I cannot do - I had AD700s and had to return them in part because the sibilance was too much. Ive also read conflicting reports on the Denons leaking sound.
Ill be getting an amp to run whatever cans I get - likely an O2, but it would be nice if I didnt have to rely on it to get 80% out of them, in case I use them for movies or gaming at home. Ill also be running out spotify or MOG out of an iphone or laptop until i get a DAC, likely a fiio E17. I hope this is enough info and that I can get some quality feedback. Thanks in advance.
