Currently own VModa M100, ATH M50, BD Custom One Pro +
Looking for a gift for a friend that is more comfortable and isolating than these and highly sensitive as they will be using them without an amp/DAC. I just got the COPs but they are so heavy and big and don't clamp quite tightly enough for my friend's small head. Must be comfortable for at least ~3 hours at a time.
I feel like the Bose SoundTrue ae II are perfect in the comfort/weight and isolation department but would like something that is slightly more detailed with lower bass extension while maintaining fun, lively, relatively forgivable music reproduction. I've been having a hell of a time conveying exactly what I'm looking for because, well, I haven't found it yet!
I've looked at Momentum 2.0, B&O H6, B&W P7, Sony cans, HD 380 Pros, and more but they all seem to have one or more things I get stuck on; either price, notion of an overly-neutral, analytical sound, low volume from a mobile device, build quality, discomfort after relatively short periods. I'm leaning toward the Momentum 2.0s but worry that they will be too uncomfortable or that their fashion-forwardedness means sacrificing durability; or that they won't fit right on a small head.
