Looking for a good balanced onear headphone, with neutral to warm tone, no harsh or bright sound, good details price is not a big problem as long as it has a good value, I tried noontec zoro hd and ue 4000, they have good sounds, noontec is better imo, 4000 is a little bit v-shape I think, but their ear pads are not rotatable, which creates too much pressure on my back ear bone, so I would like a rotatable onear, I am looking at the akg k67 any advice?



I wear glasses, so no overears, sad



thank you guys for your help

If price is not a big problem, the absolute industry standard for what you ask is the Sennheiser HD-25 II.  On ear, very neutral with perhaps a tad shaded to bass (yet with sparkling highs), excellent isolation, and a left-channel can that rotate above and away from the ear.

I have an AKG K167 and I am really happy with it. I can not comment on 67 though. Just I know all Tiesto series are sort of fragile so they are definitely not made to carry around. They are better for home & Office use.

Maybe you should read Tyll's reviews on the HD25, instead. He does not like bright headphones, IMHO.

  I prefer to think of HD25's as very punchy with rock solid bass, great midrange and some sparkle to keep things airy and interesting.

After doing a lot of searching, I ended up getting a sony mdr-1r, which is an over-ear :) It is one of the most comfortable over-ear headphones I tried, with glasses. Clamping force is pretty small. The cushion is very soft too.  And I like its sound the most among those comfortables. Pretty balanced imo, bass is not overwhelming like those XBs and x05/10, mids highs pretty clear. thanks for you guys help
