Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help choosing some headphones. Here is my situation:
Normally I'm a loudspeaker guy - but I work in an office and sit at a desk and so loudspeakers are out of the question. I've been looking into headphones and had pretty much decided on the Sennheiser HD-650/600 with a Schiit Fulla portable usb DAC/Amp (portable is important because I change desks every day) - BUT then I realized that because these are open headphones I would probably be leaking sound to others in my office. It's typically extremely quiet where I work.
So I'm curious - can you all recommend for me a closed, over-the-ear headphone that is in the $300-500 range or so (price is flexible) that would work with the Schiit Fulla? Here are some specs on the Fulla (which is pretty new):
Maximum Power:
16 ohms: 400mW RMS per channel
32 ohms: 300mW RMS per channel
50 ohms: 220mW RMS per channel
300 ohms: 40mW RMS per channel
About the music I listen to:
I listen to all types of music - classical (choral is my favorite) to Electronica. I also listen to a great deal of "in-between" indie rock and the like. E.g. Lauridsen, Bombay Bicycle Club, Radiohead, Blood Orange, Andrew Bayer, Cut Copy, Active Child, Tame Impala, etc.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
