ever considered Denon or fostex?Well Head-Fiers, I've done a fair amount of research on the Z7M2s, to the point of feeling like I've already bought them, but I need some further convincing to pull the trigger. The retail $600 is a bit much for me, and I'm tempted just settle for the MDR-1AM2 which is $200 to $300.
I've got the HD6XXs, HE4XXs, Meze 99 Noirs, AKG K371s and K553s. I purchased the K371s and K553s through Guitar Center and I'm planning on returning them as soon as everything opens up again here in Arizona. They were good headphones, but I found that I picked up the other three way more and there's no sense in me keeping them to collect dust. Plus, then I can recoup about $350.
I'm taking a financial peace course (Dave Ramsey if any of you have heard of him) and he basically says don't spend money you don't have. I should be saving.... but I also graduate in a few days so I'm kind of the opinion of getting myself a little (big) gift.
So... point blank, are the Z7M2s worth it? I'd be running them on a FiiO M11, don't have a dedicated amp setup and really don't feel like getting one. Are the Z7M2s significantly better than the 1AM2s - enough to justify two to three times the price?
Would you guys recommend any other headphones in the $500 to $600 range that are closed back and have, at least, the same or better build quality, comfort, and sound quality of the Z7M2s?
I've got the HD650s and HE4XXs which I really like in my open-back category. I did consider getting the Focal Elex's from Drop.com, but I'm leaning towards closed back. I'm not dying to get a new, high-end pair. The Meze 99 Noirs have been killing it for me, I just wish they we're slightly more comfortable (thicker pads and more clamping force would help with the seal) and maybe more durable (build quality is good, but both ear cups are secured by that one flexible joint which makes me nervous).

I have owned tr-x00(the mass drop version of th610), th900, and now I own a pair of th909. Denon headphones actually use Fostex drivers- they buy these drivers from Fostex and retune them. So it is safe to say Denon and Fostex are essentially the samething. It is just that Fostex are generally more V shaped. If you like d5200 and the look if th610, go look for some used tr-x00. They usually cost no more than 400 second hand.Which models would you would you be thinking of?
I have looked at the Fostex TH-610. They're gorgeous looking, but I wasn't sure about them. Any thoughts?
The only ones I liked from Denon were the AH-D5200, but those are just too far out of my price range.
oh and forgot to say d5200 is an equivalent of th610Which models would you would you be thinking of?

Sony took like 4 years to put out the M2, I wouldn't hold my breath on it. (Z7 is 2014 you know?).Then I'm sold, thanks! Will be looking for z7m2 on sale or maybe z7m3 will be coming soon, thanks so much y'all
The AliExpress link he give points to generic pleather affair just with multiple option for sizes. no image of the clip on ring at all.This is exactly my experience with these cans.
I`ll try to buy the alternate pads because it seems to solve the exact issues I have with it.
