After all my issues with He-560 and the ebayer agreed to take it back and refund me.
I had Monolith M1060 but I didnt like them, too heavy, too dark, few issues, He 400i too flat and boring.
I'm considering Audeze El 8 open, Audeze Sine , Oppo Pm-3 or any other option that i didn't consider because I don't know them.. budget 400 usd or so

OR forget completely planar magnetic ones and look for excellent dynamic ones
(different from the ones i own : hd600, meze 99 classic and AKG k 712 pro)

but no more hifiman..

Audeze Mobius if you're willing to take your chances with the uncertainty of crowd funding.

Budget?

Maybe check out an Aeon Flow Closed.

Adorama had some EL-8s for $250

I picked up the Mobius. I figured it would be really good for audio and movies.

ZMF Blackwood, you can get a used one with your budget.

I also see planar magnetic technology as being simply better than dynamic (can someone enlighten me as to what advantage dynamic has other than lower production costs and generally easier to amp?), though you can have a bad headphone of any kind.

Budget?

400 - 500 usd

Fostex T60rp? Also hifiman just released the sundra or whatever they are calling it.

 

[JediMa70]

Fostek T60rp, i've seen them but i don't know them... interesting option

 

[Rhamnetin]

Hard to find in-depth reviews of the T60RP. How does it compare to the T50RP MKIII and modded versions of it like the ZMF Classic?

Take some overtime at your work and go for lcd 2c

Yeah but needs a good amp and dac to drive them

 

[JediMa70]

They are really too expensive
