I'm in a lot of video calls and meetings from home now. My headphones are all full-size (see sig), and all are a bit distracting when I need to wear them. On longer calls, they also start to make my head hot - even the HD6XX. So I'm wondering if there are some on-ear options that are comfortable and at least a bit less obvious than my typical Senn or Beyer. I don't have a large head, so an LCD3 would be the wrong direction
Things to note:
Your suggestions are welcome.
Things to note:
- I wear glasses, so that needs to factor into the "comfortable"aspect.
- Wired is preferred. Don't want to have to worry about battery level during my work day, nor connectivity when I need to switch from my active monitors to headphones if the conversation needs to go more private.
- Don't need total isolation. So open or closed back is fine I think.
- IEMs are a no-go because of how loud the sound of hearing my own voice gets in my head. Which is unfortunate for the Moondrop Starfield I picked up recently.
- The dac/amp at my work desk is a Universal Audio Apollo Arrow thunderbolt interface, if it's relevant.
- Don't need built-in mic. I use a dedicated mic.
- Budget: I'd like to keep it around the same tier as the HD650 or under.
Your suggestions are welcome.
