Hi,

I've moved into a new office and need an audio set up.

I'm looking for a some closed back headphones below $500 that are dark/veiled/warm.
I understand this maybe against what most people want

I'm very sensitive to treble peaks. Especially around the 5k mark.

I'm ok with sacrificing detail and air for more warmth and intimate. I hate bright sounding headphones.

As reference the HD650 is still way to bright to me.

Would an oppo pm-3 be a good choice? (if i can find one)

I already have a dac and amp.

Thanks!

The PM3 is probably the closest you’re going to get to what you want but they have a little peak in mid-treble.

How about a 20 band EQ, and stick w/ the can you have.

Sennheiser Momentum M2?

I think the Audioquest headphones are noted for being dark and warm.

I personally would recommend the v moda crossfade wireless 2 codex, they're built like tanks, don't leak sound and still are one the best looking cans out there.


Also the sound quality from wired compared to Bluetooth is incredible, I'm pretty sure they sound better in Bluetooth mode than wired. These bad boys are immense .

They can be bass heavy, but if you're using a DAC just adjust the eq.
