hello,
i am in a search for over closed back over ear headphones. let's say 800-1000$ is a sweet spot for headphones+balanced cable.
plan to use them with Sony PHA-3.
i am looking at sony mdr-z7 which is sold for 440$~ locally. already come with balanced cable.
i tried them and it sounds pretty good. is there anything else i could try to get instead of them within this budget?
it is kind of 'upgrade' from 250ohm dt770 pro. i gave dt1770 pro a shot and decided that difference is not worth much (and harder to amp since no balanced... only 3pin xlr) - plus it cost 700$ locally.
i also tried many other headphones over all this years/in a long run but sticked to dt770. have extra cash to sink and want an upgrade to use with my sony pha3.
thank you.
