Any pianists here? I'm one (saxophone is main axe; piano is a close second). My Audio Technica K271 Mkii's sound great, but I just had to buy cord #4 and am considering alternatives.
I use a Kawai MP11 digital piano (3 grand, 80 pounds, feels close to the real thing, sort of...) and various piano sounds - internal, VST (Ivory), Pianoteq, iPad (Ravenscroft, Korg Module Pro Ivory), blah blah blah.
The AT's can be worn all day (comfort is very important, as is mobility - heavy sucks when you're playing).
Piano is the "holy grail" of sound reproduction. Buying speakers / amps is really challenging. Headphones actually sound better. And my neighbors need a break from my saxophone playing, since they are philistines.
There are various $500 to $600 Sennheisers, but I've no idea which would work best for piano. This is not for general music listening. I'm a Jazz player, primarily.
Thanks in advance!
