My last post here was 9 years ago. Damn it time flies. The Grados I bought on your advice have served me well and I'm counting on you again!
After some reading I have my eyes on these (top contenders bolded):
I'm leaning towards HE-560. I haven't heard any of those cans myself though. What would you advise? Thanks for all and any of your opinions!
- For listening to opera and classical.
- Opera is more important than classical. For classical, time spent is concerts > chamber music > symphonic.
- The headphones need to be tolerant to bad quality 60s/70s recordings.
- Will be buying an amp after I choose the headphone.
- Budget is $500-$700 for lightly used cans.

- HiFiman HE-500, HE-560
- Sennheiser HD 600, 650, 700, 800. HD800 is straining my budget but let's hear them opinions.
- Grado GS1000
