I'm looking to upgrade from the Westone UM2 mainly for use at home. E500 is the obvious answer, but I'm sort of curious to try a closed headphone. My listening is mainly classical, classic rock, various other genres--mainly accoustic music. I'm looking for something kind of laid back to complement the DT880 that I have, particularly for night time listening. I will be amping with the m^3, but something easy to drive would be good. I have been thinking some about trying one of the AudioTechnica line. Is it worth the premium over the a900 to try the w1000? Or would I be better off trying to find a w100 in terms of the sound signature I am looking for? What other options are there? Would the AKG k271 or the Beyer DT250-80 make more sense? I'm curious about the AudioTechnicas, but maybe they aren't suited for my purposes? I would like to keep this under $500. Thanks for any advice.
