So I've tried a few headphones, and am still searching for one that fits my needs. I'm looking for a closed headphone that are non-fatiguing, isolate well (passive), and are comfortable.
I've tried:
NVX XPT 100s (too heavy)
NAD Viso HP 50 (poor seal and too much headband pressure)
PSB M4U 1 (too heavy and earpads too shallow)
Sennheiser HD 598Cs (returned but don't remember why)
Fidelio X1 (gave away and don't remember its sound)
The NVX, NAD, and PSB all sounded good but had some problems. Though none of the headphones I tried really blew me away when listening to them (my brother even thought the NADs were $60 headphones). However, trying them all did make me realize that perhaps +$100 headphones are just about preference and not sound quality.
So now I am looking for a pair of headphones that follow my criteria and are good for shows/anime, gaming, and music. I'd like to keep it at less than $300.
I've got a $50 gaming headset that is lightweight, comfortable and sounds fine. Is there anything out there that will put it to shame?
(no dac or amp will be used)
