I am a pretty big fan of the KEF and I think it deserves a serious recommendation.
Wow, thanks for the answer.
I had a look at them, they seem very valid and in another situation I would have loved to try them, but somehow it didn't feel right.
I've found one anyway, it's not perfect but it's very good. Audeze Mobius.
Only real concern, they're very heavy.
But the sound is the most neutral I've came across till now.
The other one I've been testing a lot was the AtH-M50XBT which I had modded with Brainwavz Angled Sheepskin, which made them sounds even more neutral than the ATH-M50X, and more spacious.
But somehow, the Mobius won...

Hello fellow colleague!
Well, I'm not that far, just beginning.
I'm a fan of Audio Technica, so I would have been happy to try, but neutral is a must in this case.
I've found a website which I consider reliable, Rtings.
They consider the Mobius more neutral than the DSR9BT, so when I liked the Mobius I decided not to even try the DSR9BT.
Was it for my pleasure, I would have most probably preferred the ATH, as I tend to make my headphones smile anyway...
Thanks
Hey guys,
What is the best under $50 Bluetooth on or over-ear headphones I could buy?
Only thing I can say, do NOT trust Wirecutter.
I would bet my life they're corrupted and paid by Jabra.
Somehow they keep saying the Jabra are the best BT headphones in the world, every single year, this year even with two different models in the two main categories.
I'm not an expert but I've tried the Plantronics GO 810 on suggestion of the guys of Rtings (that's a website you can trust).
In my case my seek was neutrality.
I must say, I doubt you can beat the 810 in that price.
You can also tweak them to make them more funny.
Audio Technica ATH-DSR9BT
Audio Technica ATH-WS99BT
I've tried the 990BTb which I believe are the successor of the 99BT.
They're nice. If I wasn't looking for neutrality I might have kept them.
If you're looking for bass power without compromising the rest of the sound they're sweet.
Didn't try the DSR9BT though, but my intuition would say to prefer them.

What more do you need?
Hello everyone, I have been looking for a new pair of over ear bt headphones.
I have the Mobius.
They are very heavy, specially if you put the Gel Pads (IMHO not necessary, but in Amazon people wrote they're much better so I had to try. I've mixed feelings, ask me if you want to know more).
The sound is among the best I've ever heard.
But it's also the first planar I've tried.
I had tried the Momentum 2 and loved them. The Mobius are much better.
You have many EQ presets, neutral to funny.
They are never a bass monster, but I've read that planar never are, because they don't move as much air as normal headphones.
But the bass is deep and precise.
The 3D thing is much better than the DTS:X stuff on LG phones. But I anyway only use it for movies.
All of my over-ear headphones have Brainwavz sheepskin earpads.
I won't settle for anything less.
While I was choosing between Mobius and ATH-M50XBT, I've tested almost 20 pair of earpads.
My impression is that the ones that respect the sound the most, are the PU ones, Brainwavz or Geekria (Geekria are identical in all aspects, but cheaper).
My impression was that the Sheepskin were reducing the bass a little bit, specially the flat one.
Considering that the ATH-M50XBT have too much bass (for music production) I would have chosen the Sheepskin for them. Specifically, the angled ones.
But if it was for my fun, I would have preferred the PU.
On which headphones do you prefer the Sheepskin and why?
