Hello
 
I'm looking for a new set of headphones.
I'm going to use this with my phone(nexus 6) and they have to be over-the-ear.
 
As of today i use Shure SE535 daily. I find that the highs are tiring for my ears and the bass aren't all that great.  I've never been able to use the SE535 at high volumes since the highs are killing my ears.
My other problems with IEM's are that they make my ears itch after 30 minutes of use and then i have to take them out. I've tried all sorts of tipps/plugs on the SE535 and nothing helps.
 
I tried the SE846 and loved them, but i would still have the problem with itching ears.
 
I have Beyerdynamic DT770 pro 250ohm and DT 880 pro 250 ohm at home. I'm not using the 770's anymore since i find that the 880's have overall better sound to my ears. None of these can be used with my cellphone without an amp.
 
I mainly listen to rock,pop and electronic music.
 
So far my list of potential candidates are:
 
B&O H6
Oppo PM-3 (These cost the same as H6 in the US, but here in norway they are twice as expensive)
NAD HP50
Shure srh1540
 
Recently i tried the following:
 
Sennheiser Momentum - Tried all variants and didn't like the comfort or sound.
Bose QC25 - Great NC, poor sound
B&O H6 - I think i liked these, but the source i had(spotify) vas poor and there was a lot of noise in the shop. Guess i have to try these again.
 
Anyone got recommendations? :)
