If only the Shure SRH840 were open backed, complete with a larger soundstage, less heat discomfort, and faster response they would be perfect in my book. Is there any headphone that can serve in this way?
-less than $500
-circumaural
-open backed
-easily driven unamped
-flat frequency response
From another direction, if only the AKG K701/K702 were more easily driven I'd be all over them. I already own the Head Direct RE0 and am looking for complementary full-sized headphones with airiness and large soundstage, while retaining flat frequency response, clarity, and speed.
I am considering modded Grados with circumaural C-pads or with the GS-1000 pad with spacer mod, but that would be an imperfect solution (lots of legwork, less than ideal build quality, humps in its freq-response).
