Hello friends,
I listen to orchestral classical music. I have the Bowers and Wilkins PX7, which I like. However, I do find the PX7 to sound a touch polite and am looking to expand my headphones collection by adding a second pair of Bluetooth cans. I prefer highly resolving headphones with a flat, neutral and engaging sound. I have narrowed down my choices to one of the following:

1. SONY WH-1000XM4
2. Shure AONIC 50
3. DALI IO-6

I am not considering the Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless as I heard it has inconsistent fit and bass across different users. I am not too bothered about noise cancellation performance as I listen in quiet environments where passive isolation is enough.
Best Regards,
Trinanjan.

First of all, welcome to the forum but you joined 14 years ago and second, this is the wrong subforum.

Anyway, regarding the Amiron Wireless, I use those earpads covers:

Comfort and bass improved a lot.

You can scratch the XM4 as it got blubby bass, ugly type of bass and the price is too high. You're only paying for the ANC.

I would rec the Ananda BT for classical music.

Well, that looks like a great choice, but it isn't available in India.

Oh I see. Aren't there any store there that sells them? Or perhaps Amazon and eBay?

Hello folks,

How good are the Sennheiser Momentum 3?

www.rtings.com says these have good audio reproduction.

As I listen more and more to my B & W PX7, I feel that the bass is overdone on these headphones, orchestral drums seem overbearing.

I just got the Dali IO-6. I already had the B & W PX7. To my ears, the Dali is at least thrice as good as the B & W. I really don't know why What Hifi gave 4 stars to the Dali and 5 to the PX7. The PX7 has bloated boomy bass without texture. The Dali is refined, has impact and texture... I am amazed how tonally balanced the IO-6 is.

I have owned the Sony's M2 and M3 version and ended up selling both. I am not sure if I do not like the Sony signature sound, but I was not pleased with either version. The M3 was a step up over the M2's but still not quite to my tastes.
