Hello everyone,
First timer here. I found out about this forum from the /r/headphones section on Reddit. Recently I've begun searching for closed back headphones to use while traveling the subway in NY. I am not interested in IEM's or headphones that are extremely large. I do down an Audio Technica ATH AD700, which I bought a couple years back. I love them, but they are more suited for home use rather than traveling.
Through my research the only two headphones that my budget can handle are either the HD25-1 ii or Amperior. From all the research I've done, the Amperior is superior depending on what you are doing. For recreational listening it is recommended to go with the Amperior. I was hoping to find them at a discounted price since I see they are discontinued, but I've not had any luck with sales. Some used versions pop up on Amazon, but I am not too confident in them.
Are there any other headphones around the $200 range that are portable while remaining decently compact like the Amperior or HD25-1 ii?
Thanks a lot guys and it's great to be part of the community!
