Hi All.
I have an old Sennheiser PXC 250 that is falling apart, and needs an upgrade. Poking around on this site gives me more info than I know what to do with. Since I cant take any of these home for a demo, I have to go by reviews... which despite the best efforts of the reviewer are somewhat subjective. So I need your help.
What im looking for:
Required:
On-ear
closed-back with good isolation (primary use is in the office)
no amp needed
non-detachable cord (that way it doesnt fall out)
accurate and unforgiving sound
nice to have:
switchable noise cancellation for plane trips
I listen to a wide variety of instrumental music. Classical, Dance, Techno and a smattering of easy listening.
Primary use will be in the office, so I need good isolation so others are not affected by what I listen to
Poking around the site, 2 sets caught my eye:
B&W P5 -- I love their floorstanders, but the flat ear cups leave me wondering how it will work.
Beyerdynamic DT1350 -- I see the brand a lot, and it seems to get good reviews.
Budget is to $400
