I want to upgrade my headphones from the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x's but I'm struggling big time.
I've tried the DT770's, 100mW drivers mean they don't have the loudness I like, tried the Monolith M565C's, very narrow sound - no lows or highs or increased detail compared to my M50's.
Closed back is my preference, I need bass so I guess that rules out open backs.
The sound I'm after is the M50X's bass / fun but with more dynamic range, detail and clarity in the mids and highs, at the moment the ATH-MSR7b looks like my next logical move, 2W drivers, perhaps less bass but if the bass is that bad I could use an EQ to fix that.
I know the M50's are generally disliked by audiophiles but I really like them...
So budget wise around $250 to $300, also I live in the UK / Europe so I may not have easy access to cans that are found in the US.
