My advice as someone who's been there... If you love the sound of a headphone and you search for replacements, they're always inferior in ways, and you'll likely spend $200 on 3 different pairs of headphones each until you realize you could've just gotten the Pryma instead Never heard these but they must sound nice to beat out the P7 in anyone's opinion. Also the only decent headphone I know of below $200 that's any good is the M50x. I think over-ear portables are a tough market, hard to get good performance under $400, YMMV. I just got Audio Technica MSR7 for $230 and like them, but that's definitely not the sound signature of the Pryma. Good luck
I had higher line B&Ws as my main speakers for over a decade. Was in love with their sound years ago, but last few years they bothered me. (Maybe due to a different placement? B&W high end sound is great if you spend money!) Just got rid of them not to long ago and replaced them with Sonus Fabers which I love. Maybe I am a bit biased to B&W at this point, but I purchased B&W P7 expecting great things and they are so inferior to PRYMAs that I am simply flabbergasted.
PRYMA is so much better than Beats Solo 2 that I had. Day and night. B&W fall right in between. Much better than Beats, but not near PRYMAs. I just can't get to enjoy them and that somehow remind me of my B&W speakers...
Thank you for you advise. Will consider getting them as I know I will be wanting them no matter what else I get. I was just hoping there is something there that I could live with for now... As I know now how bad Beats sound comparing to how good it could be.
