Hi, I'm looking to upgrade from my M50's as even though they still sound great, they're starting to get flaky in the actual headband and cup department and it's starting to look like I have some weird black dandruff condition.
I have a budget of around £200-300 and was initially thinking about getting a pair of Blue MoFi's after watching this video and seeing how most on the panel really rated them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7s0FvIXQsE and in subsequent episodes of SonicTalk, they have all continued to wear them.
But I've been reading a few negative reviews of them and some people seem to have an issue with their weight and comfort for long listening sessions. I will mainly be using the headphones with my computer and through my Tascam M-164UF audio interface to listen to music and for when I am making music (both recording and mixing). I know I would probably be better off with a separate flat-response pair for mixing which is why I am keeping my M50's around as they've served me relatively well over the years.
I may also use the headphones with my smartphone (Sony Xperia Z2) but that isn't a huge must on my list as I generally use my Sony MDR-650AP's with that.
I've also been looking at the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus headphones but seeing as this is going to be a big upgrade from my M50's, I didn't know if they were significantly better than them.
Thanks for any suggestions.
