Budget - 500-600 USD.

Source - iphone 6s / Galaxy S7 edge / PC with Oppo HA-2

Requirements for Isolation - no preference.

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - no. strictly home use

Preferred Type of Headphone - Over ear only

Preferred tonal balance - Warm

Past headphones - Currently using ASG 2.5 and Hifiman HE-400s. Sold : Sennheiser HD8 DJ, Master&Dynamic MH40

Preferred Music - EDM , Rock, Hip Hop. Occassionaly pop / instrumental. So a bit of everything.

If you live outside of the US, please also provide Location - Hong Kong.

 

Demo'd the Audioquest Nighthawk and Beyerdynamic DT-1770 Pro last week. Really enjoyed the comfort of the Nighthawk. The sound was good, but felt the mids were lacking a bit. The Dt-1770 sounded awesome to me, but just out of my price range.(they retail for about 850 USD here).

I really like the sound signature of my ASG2.5 , just want a over ear headphone that is comfortable and has similar sound to the 2.5's. (the bass dials on my 2.5 are just in the default position for me)
 
thanks in advance
